I haven't read the entire thread, but I did notice that someone mentioned that Theon may be talking to a ghost in winterfell. Any chance this "ghost" is actually Bran talking through the werewood tree? (Even though the other dude said Bran couldn't communicate both ways?)
Just a theory, I like this thread, ill read the rest of it soon as I can.

its VERY possible, and it can go either way granted. as you mentioned however, we learn that bran cant communicate both ways, but also that what bran sees is not limited to the present. Theon could have spoken to an older Bran. What i mean is that if Ned dies in year 297AL, and by end of book 5 we are in year 299AL, it stands to reason that its possible for an older bran (say in the year 308AL) to have been looking at a past image of theon (which would be the readers present timeline), through the trees. the trees never forget an such. we actually know this is possible because bran sees the image of Ned, Lyanna, and Benjen playing in winterfell.
and on the flip hand we are told way to often, "There must ALWAYS be a stark in winterfell". we are told the crypts are haunted. and we are told that disturbing the swords will disturb the spirits. Bran and Rickon removed swords, there are no more starks in winterfell. Granted the phrase could exist simply because if theres no stark in winterfell, then their family seat and dominion over the north could be ended.

i 100% know what you mean, i have a couple friends that also felt the same way on the second read through. for example on my first read though i did not notice dany had a vision of the red wedding before it happened while she was in the house of the undying.
