With the episode being titled The Dragon and the Wolf, that opens up a very intriguing possibility as to who it's referring to. Obviously there's Jon and Daenerys, but it could (and should) also mean Rhaegar and Lyanna.

Since we still haven't had an in-show reveal about Jon's father, this episode - especially with the title, but also because we're approaching the endgame - feels like a perfect time to introduce Rhaegar Targaryen.

We haven't seen much of Bran in recent weeks, which could suggest a big role in the finale, and him having a vision of Rhaegar and Lyanna - most likely their secret wedding - would very much fit.

There's also the question of whether Jon will learn the truth here or not. It's going to have to make the reveal eventually, but it'd be odd for it to come in a raven, and it's difficult to see him having time (even in this season) to get back to Winterfell.
