There's still a glimpse of hope that Jon Snow will return in the next season of "Game of Thrones". Kit Harington, who has played the bastard son of Ned Stark since the first season, was recently photographed at a Wimbledon tennis match in London sporting long locks, which were his character's iconic hair style.
Back in January, the actor who had revealed that he's contractually obligated to keep his hair long for the duration of the show appeared with shorter hair at the premiere of his movie "Testament of Youth". The fact that he now grows his hair back sparks a speculation that he will reprise his role as Jon on the HBO series.
One fan, Austin Chesshire, pointed it out in his Twitter post, "This is a recent picture of Kit Harington, notice his hair. He hasn't cut it. JON SNOW LIVES. #GameofThrones." Another fan named Tom Feeney wrote, "Jon Snow lives because of Kit Harington's hair."

Jon was last seen bleeding out after he was betrayed and stabbed by his Brothers in the Night's Watch in the fifth season finale. Addressing his character's fate on the show, Harington said in June, "I'm quite dead. It's over for Jon Snow - at the very least, he gets to join his family and kin and leave this terrible world behind."
He added, "If anything in the future is not like that, then I don't know about it - it's only in David and Dan and George's heads. But I've been told I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm not coming back next season. So that's all I can tell you, really."
However, his co-star Emilia Clarke who plays Daenerys Targaryen believes there is a chance that Jon would return to the upcoming season 6. "There are some helpful people there, who could bring Jon back to life," she said in an interview with MTV, "If I had to bet, I would say it's a 50/50 chance."
