However, I would not be surprised if Snow did survive the attack because Martin has also really blurred the line between life and death in the fourth and fifth books, what with The Hound's ambiguous state of life, Lady Catelyn's resurrection, Brienne's resurrection(?), etc. It's almost as if he's afraid to permanently off anyone any more.
Spoiler for spoiler for all books:
I doubt Jon is dead. For one thing, he was "killed" in his own POV, which so far in the series means that you're not really dead. It's only if another POV witnesses your death that you are really dead.

Case in point: Davos during the Battle of Blackwater, Tyrion during the Blackwater, Catelyn at the Red Wedding, Arya outside the Red Wedding, Brienne at the Inn at the Crossroads, Theon during the sack of Winterfell.
