The only difference I can think of is that this show rarely kills off major characters in finales (anyone major died to end a season other than Tywin? Jojen I guess, not that he was all that major). The finales have always been about recovering from what happened in the earlier episodes. So maybe this is set up as a cliffhanger and piss people off for the next year before his triumphant return (which would be spoiled long before the show's back on air). Or maybe that's just wishful thinking.
Be interesting to see what happens if book 6 is published before the next season.

I'm beginning to think they tossed Lady Stoneheart by the wayside to make Jon Snow's revival more of a shock. If you saw Beric and Cat revived by red priests then Mellisandre's return to the wall would make one safely conclude that Jon will be revived.
I also think they inserted Melisandre meeting Thorros of Mir (which never happened in the book) for this very reason: to learn about revival of a dead person.
They very well could be neglecting to tell Kit Harrington of his return to keep this a secret. It should be very interesting to see, if Jon Snow's return occurs, how they keep in under wraps during the shooting process.
