10 Game Of Thrones Heroes You Didn't Realise Were Villains

7. Jon Snow

Jon Snow really doesn't have his priorities straight. He knows about the White Walkers and the very real threat they pose to the world, but he's not pushing the agenda and is instead content to deal with the Wildling threat. They are the enemy but they're not the worst threat out there. Of course they are some very bad people in the Wildling ranks; the cannibalistic Styr the Magnar of Thenn is utterly terrifying and one of the big highlights of the show this season. But you have to question why they really are heading south - if they cross over the Wall then there is a giant blockade between them and the walking dead threatening to consume everyone. Jon isn't an outright villain; there are plenty of those up at Castle Black right now. But he still content to fight the good fight just to ensure Mance Rayder's people don't cross The Wall. Considering what they really need to prepare their defences for, the war against the Wildlings is, in comparison, a petty squabble based on geography. Having made a connection with Mance Rayder already, why not attempt a diplomatic solution? Is he really going to allow a lot of people to die just to stop them getting a foothold in the North?
