Your theory that the fellow in the north that is teaching bran is bloodraven could be interesting. 'thul had another theory a while back. If lifespan is unnatural, it could be a Stark. more specifically, bran's namesake... Brandon Stark (the builder).

Ah, but is most certainly 100% Bloodraven. Everyone 100 years ago always spoke of Bloodraven as having A Thousand eyes and one.

(Some ADWD and short-stories spoilers...)

Spoiler

See, when Bloodraven was hand to Daeron II some of his sons didn't approve, including Eggs father Maekor. So when Maekor followed his brother to the throne, he had Bloodraven imprisoned.

When Egg finally ascended the throne, he released Bloodraven and sent him North with Maester Aemon to take the black. Eventually Bloodraven became a Lord Commander of the Night's Watch and one day he just disappeared. No one knew what happened to him. Well when Bran finds him in the weirwood... the very last words of the chapter are "A thousand eyes and one." See, it WAS a theory - but has been proven true!

Joost.. read the other two!
