If that mattered, then he wouldn't have to run from King's Landing in the first place.

The annulment and marriage of Prince "Ragger" that Gilly read about is dramatic irony for the audience, telling us that Jon was Rhaegar's trueborn Targaryen son
.
I get all that, but either it's a misdirection, or the writers really really really insulting our intelligence. Rheagar and Elia had kids. OBVIOUSLY their marriage was consummated. How the fuck could it be annulled? I'm not sure the citadel is going to just honor the declarations of a monk who spends most of this time writing down when he poops.

As the Baratheons were killing the Targaryens, Jon became the last living male Targaryen. This may come up in the show such that Dany will have a struggle with the fact that she is not the true Targaryen next in line to the throne.
Which is why they're either gonna hook up, or she's just gonna play the "fuck off I have dragons" card.
