The whole series is about the song of ice and fire, and that would be the conflict between the Others and the Red God (as well as Stark versus Lannister, in a lesser symbolic way). Jon is our sole story connection to the ice side of things, and it seems doubtful that he would just lop off one half of his major overall story arc (Dany being the other half) just because the story is getting big. If anything, Martin is working toward bringing those halves together and would be more likely to lop off some of the war-related stories instead, or integrate them into Jon's story (as has been happening with Stannis and now Theon). Even if he did leave Jon dead, the story's arc inevitably brings a bunch of other characters to the Wall, so you might as well have Jon there too.

I think that he has purposefully set his readers up so that they'd come to that conclusion.

I'd hope the Lannisters alone would have given them the impression inbreeding is a bad idea...

That would be so predictable and boring that I sincerely hope you are wrong. *NM*

It's going to be revealed through a Coldhands POV that the Others are actually the good guys.

I have been thinking about the endings too, and it has gotten me a bit concerned.

Since you touch on the subject - the show has made me rethink Varys completely.
