I have a hard time imagining Jon Snow being resurrected after the first two episodes. He is dead and about to rot... how long do y'all think he can just lay around and not be either burned or disposed of? Plus (and not that I know R'hollor's rules or anything), it seemed like based on Thoros' resurrections that time was definitely of the essence.
a. magic
b. he is (presumably) frozen since he is on the wall, it's damn cold up there
c. just because we don't find out until episode 2 or 3 doesn't mean chronologically it isn't within days of his death. the stories in various timelines are not necessarily running concurrently. it's more of dramatic license to show you when they want to show you.
I just doubt they wait multiple days to try and burn his body, considering they have seen the White Walkers, experienced a wight trying to kill someone within Castle Black, and the absolute worst case scenario for Jon's murderers is that you (Zombie Jon Snow) become a reality. The best swordsman in the Night's Watch suddenly impervious to swords? They want to dispose of him ASAP, and so unless they skip an entire episode at the wall, I don't see even the most condensed chronology leaving him just laying on a table.
Plus, if he were just laying there multiple days, there would be more teased shots of it in these trailers. I think the reason they never tease a Night's Watch funeral pyre shot of Jon's body is because it never even gets to that scene and he's resurrected episode 1, 2 at the latest.
Here's my prediction of how it could go down: The scene in which Davos is standing over Jon's body and taking Longclaw is Davos going out to take justice on the mutineers. The confrontation causes a distraction and Jon's body is left unguarded. We see Melisandre enter his room and either behind closed doors (to the viewer) or Thoros-style we watch Mel saying the ancient words.
The fight goes on outside-- it's Civil War among the remaining Night's Watch, Davos and his remaining Stannismen. Ser Alliser is about to get the best of Davos when Jon shows up and saves the day. Thorne is in shock and can do nothing as Jon picks up the disarmed Longclaw and coldly shoves it through his gut.
Jon disbands the Night's Watch and goes off to kill Boltons for his cousin Sansa, later marries his aunt queen, Daenerys.
