I actually feel for Catelyn and her position in the terms of Jon's birth and those early years. (I've only just finished the first book so I don't know about later on, much more than tumblr has spoiled me). Social views clearly looked down on bastards, and within the first year of her marriage her husband fathered one at war and then brought it home and raised him like an equal amongst her children.

That's not going to be easy to live with and I think while she didn't embrace Jon, she didn't have any obligation too. This isn't like becoming a step-mother to previous children, this is your husband publicly acknowledging he fathered another son. I agree her life was hard in that respect and I can see why she hated him, he was a constant and public reminder that the man who had become her husband wasn't his brother, and for all his honor he had cheated.

Jon had ambitions past being a bastard, and the Wall was the best way for him to get there, and I think no matter what he would have gone there. But I think if Catelyn hadn't been so cold to him he wouldn't have gone at fifteen.
