Good point on Jon's warg abilities. I don't think even Dany can do that. Warg magic origins seem exclusive to the north.

Another thing I wish were more clear is the amount of time that has passed from book to book. I think Dany should by now have reached her late teens/ early twenties. I don't think Tyrion is that old as Cersei and Jaime are probably in their mid-thirties, Tyrion should be in his late twenties. Mormont should be in his mid to late forties. Barristan Selmy mentioned a decade passing since he first joined Dany as Whitebeard, but that seems inaccurate to me. Anyway, I don't think age is really an obstacle in marriage, especially political ones.

I don't know if Victarion has that good of a chance. He will have to face Euron eventually for trying to usurp him. He has the red priest backing him, though.

I still don't understand the motives of the red priests. So many have claimed to have found Azor Ahai incarnate that I'm beginning to wonder whether this is a contest. They seem to know about the wights and are intent on preventing their return, so does this suggest that there is land bridging the northlands of Westeros to the eastern continent? If the wights only populated Westeros, then it shouldn't matter to them as they would be landlocked.

Another problem in suitors pursuing Dany is the fact that she is infertile. Those trying to win the throne will not likely be able to sire a legitimate heir. I don't think the dragons can repopulate either. As I know it, all three are male. It seems with Dany and her dragons, they are the end of their line. Unless, of course, the stone dragons at Dragonstone come to life and are of both sexes then maybe they won't be extinct for good.
