Is Jon Snow really dead or not?

HBO released a teaser trailer for season 6 of “Game of Thrones,” and it has but whetted the appetite of fans.

In the trailer, the character of the Three-Eyed Raven (played by Max von Sydow) can be heard to say “We watch, we listen and we remember. The past is already written. The ink is dry.”

What follows is plenty of flashbacks, including that now famous scene of the death of popular character Snow, portrayed by actor Kit Harrington.
