The note being that if Rhaegar & Lyanna were in love and they ran away together and had Jon....wasn't Rhaegar already married to Elia of Dorne? Its been a little while since I read the series, so my timeline of events may be a little off. However, if memory serves me correctly, he was married to Elia, but she was frail/sickly...so there was some doubt as to if she would mother an heir/child.
Did Rhaegar ever love Lyanna? Or was it just a marriage of State? Also, would it be so unusual for Rhaegar to have two wives? The Targarians did often marry siblings, and the realm was somewhat accustomed to it. However, would children (Jon?) from his secret marriage to Lyanna be considered in line for the throne?

Targs had previously been polygamous. Plus some though not all might argue that you can love more than one person. And others might argue that a marriage just to have a prophecised child is acceptable if the prophecy is important enough. We'll find out sooner or later anyway
And the answer came to her instantly: pride. Oh, you hear them say it's a sin; you hear them say it goes before a fall. the shepherd prides himself on keeping the wolf out from the flock. We pride ourselves on making a good history of our lives, a good story to be told.
I think Sean Bean knows who Jon Snow's parents are

As long as his parents aren't two characters who are long dead before book one, I am happy

I am sorry but the event that started the war was not the abduction of Lyanna Stark
