Especially since they keep bringing it up. It is how they got Jon out in the snow to go all Cesar on him. It isn't just like "Damn, I wish we knew what happened to my uncle, oh well a bunch of stuff is going down so I won't worry about it". It has been a big part of happenings at the Wall. Didn't Mormont go north of the Wall looking for him? It would be like "who shot JR?" oh well nevermind, it wasn't that important.
