SPOILERS AHEAD!
At this point the series has deviated quite a bit from the books. I'm fine with that. What makes for a good narrative in books that are several hundred of pages each doesn't necessarily make for a good TV show. There over 1000 named characters in the books (so far). But in a TV show, people just want to see familiar faces and characters they love or hate or love to hate. Besides, it's not like GRRM isn't involved in the TV series. He's there, making decisions, approving choices, offering suggestions, etc.
As for Jon Snow...the Red Priestess just happened to show up at Castle Black before Jon Snow got stabbed up. I don't know if this happens in the book, but it's a suspicious coincidence in the show. That the show didn't mention the resurrection of Catelyn Stark by the Lord Of Light is odd too, so maybe they intend to give that storyline to Jon Snow. I don't think this is a stretch, considering the other considerable liberties and changes that have been made so far.
Me, I just want to see Hodor again.
