In my opinion, Jon Snow can't be killed off. He has clearly been the authors favorite throughout the series, and has arguably, the most complex back story with a lot of unanswered questions surrounding his mother and the legacy of House Stark.
Admittedly the TV series and the Book are taking very different arks towards the end, but I think both will end up in the same place
Even though this article deals with Stannis, I agree with you. The very fact that the show runners got permission from GRRM to do the show was because they supposedly knew who Jon's parents are makes it a big deal. If they just kill him off, it doesn't make much sense.
i don't know about him being GRRM's favorite, though. I think he has the softest spot in his heart for Tyrion.
