"Hey guys, I'm not really Jon Snow, I'm Aegon Targaryen VII, son of Rhaegar and Lyanna Targaryen, who I swear were totally married even though there's no record of that or of my birth. Here, just listen to my cousin Bran, who sees visions of everything that has, is or will ever happen all at once. You can totally trust us."

Actually there is a record of that, because Sam mentions the diary or journal of High Septon Maynard which Gilly actually found, which records the annulment and secret marriage between Rhaegar and Lyanna. There were also others in that birthing room who heard Lyanna speaking to Eddard Stark. If they come forward, it's all over. That is if they heard what was said. I just don't think Jon suffers from lust for power though. So will he want it, the same way Dany does.
Additionally, the Targaryen dynasty ruled for 300 years until the Mad King who's evil acts were responsible for Robert's Rebellion. Many of those old houses throughout Westeros were already there when the Targaryen's ruled. Some for longer periods of time preceding the Targaryens. Perhaps they were descendents of the First Men?
