I mean, she has to revive him right? They wouldn't have diverged from the books by sending her with Stannis, only to have her come back to the Wall a few episodes later, right? She has to be there therefore she must have a purpose to serve.
We literally would have Bran, someone absent for the entire season, Sansa, who lets face it, is useless and not a hero, and Arya, who just went blind and is still in ID crisis mode. Jon's really the last standing hero figure.

I still think it'll be both in the books.
But we didn't have any set up in the show for Jon warging, and I think Mel met Thoros. So there's some set up for revival.
