Jon Snow is another good pick. He's another protector of the realm.
I hadn't thought of Beric as Azor either, until I read the chapter in Storm of Swords (i'm rereading in anticipation of Book 5 in sept) where the Brotherhood attack the Bloody Mummers and Beric talks about his life.
The tie-in between his constant revivals and the Lord of Light jumped out at me.
I also noticed he foreshadowing of the Red Wedding and the theme of houseguests. The Black Brothers kill Craster in his keep, violating the law of guests and stuff. Oberyn Doran comes to King's Landing, looking for revenge on the Lannister's Gregor Clegane. If he attacked, he would be violating the houseguest rules. And, of course, the Red Wedding is the biggest, most dishonorable violation of said law.
If Beric is really Azor Ahai returned, then Westeros is slightly in trouble. Although "dead" seriously needs to be redefined for ASOIAF, I was under the impression that making unCat killed him once and for all. Interesting theory, though.

I don't have the book on hand to give you an exact quote, but he references "The Song of Ice and Fire" in AFFC before he dies and goes on about the Prince that was Promised (Azor Ahai) being a translation error, Prince being a gender neutral term based on the fact that dragons have no sexes until mating. Rhaegar thought the Prince was his son, but was swayed from that idea sometime later. Dany being Azor Ahai also gets back to the theme that the Targaryens are the rightful rulers of the realm and will return to being so by the end of the series.
Yet, it seems that she is suited to use that same army against the invasion of wights and Others from beyond the Wall.
Yes, she does. That's exactly what Azor Ahai is for. That's why Melisandre brought Stannis there. What I find more curious than the identity of Azor Ahai is what it means that The Lord of Light is gaining so much power in Westeros. It certainly seems like R'hllor is being set up to be the new proper religion in Westeros, which is at

Interesting point, I never thought of Beric.
