You are quite correct in saying that book readers don't KNOW the answer to this, and thus it is not any more spoiler-y for us than for viewers, but book readers have far more of a basis to engage in that speculation.

Funny thing this. I just started watching the series again from the beginning and I've now started believing the same thing myself after finishing the first 2 episodes. Many details about that situation never did add up (so much so that I even asked a vague question about it here a few months back). When searching for that post just now, I found the multiple posts with spoiler tags from yesterday that dealt with it (I avoided them myself earlier, but apparently they aren't blocked on searches, which is probably another reason to limit spoiler tag usage in this thread as much as possible). Anyway, I suspect you're right that book readers have more of a basis to speculate on that topic, but it seems to me that there are a few hints dropped throughout the show too.
