Howland Reed remains a huge point of mystery for the simple fact that, barring a trip down memory lane with Bran, he's never appeared on the series, yet is the only living person who knows exactly what happened at the Tower of Joy.

While he's played his own part in the story, by sending his children Jojen and Meera to protect Bran, it'd still be nice to actually have him turn up, even if the time for it has most likely passed. He would certainly help corroborate events as laid out by Bran, but also it'd just clear up what feels like a really loose end and be the good kind of fan-service.
