You forgot that Jon Snow is a man. This is set on medieval age where male heir will be the first choice than the female one even the bastards. See how Jon Snow is the current The King Of The North rather than Sansa?? 

^^^ i've been saying this to all of my friends  however i am team Dany

ersei is still considered Baratheon

I think considering that she never remarried, she's still a Bartheon.  But the Lannister sigl is mounted in the throne room and the Kings Landing army bears the Lannister banner. So I'm guessing the Lannisters control the throne?

Just now, Jon Snow said:

She's still using the Baratheon's sigil as seen in the episodes so far. But as far as the people of westeros' concern, they wouldn't believe a rumor that Joffrey's a bastard. It's still the Baratheon's reign. 

i didn't even clock that  i'll have to pay attention next time cersei is on screen 

i wish someone would leak the receipts to Westeros

Our questions will never be answered till the end of the season (or maybe the series ) this curiosity will definitely eat us all up

The Baratheon sigil is still on the throne so they still have claim over the throne. But as @VOLANTIS said, everyone has an equal claim to the throne atm.

The Lannister sigil is mounted in the throne room, not the Baratheon.

It's just a custom that's not too forced. See Cersei was never referred to as Cersei Baratheon. Sansa was never Sansa Lannister. She went by Lady Stark. But Olenna and Catelyn took their husband's last names.

Yes, she is the daughter of the mad king Aerys, but the power has shifted so much in the 7 kingdoms. Targaryens are no longer popular. In theory, she has the greatest claim to the Iron Throne right now, but who knows? Jon could be a legitimate heir.

At what point does the claim just kind of dissolve? They've had so many different kings (& and queen, slay Cersei) after Robert Baratheon's rebellion. Would the people even want a new Targaryen leader?

i actually love that out of all the traditional customs that George has taken from real life, that one isn't really that important to the characters  

maybe they care more about it in the north?

the one on the title scene tho.. 

this couldn't be an error. it's planned way waaaay ahead

Jon isn't interested in the Iron Throne. His main focus is to defeat the enemies in the North, the White Walkers. Daenerys won't burn him, because he isn't a threat to her.  (As of now unless a twist happens )

@VOLANTIS @ryanripley @gagagoogoose

i'm really glad he isn't, i want him and dany to be allies so bad  the tension during the most recent episode had me shook

According to the GOT wiki:

After the assassinations of Joffrey and Myrcella and Tommen's suicide in the wake of the destruction of the Great Sept of Baelor, Cersei assumed the throne under the name of Cersei of the House Lannister, the First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms. 

Since she's the first Queen, this is kind of uncharted territory for Westoros, but she assumed under House Lannister, therefore Lannister sits on the Iron Throne.

Well Cersei would never ever take Baratheon because she immensely despises him. And Tyrion is a nice person so he wouldn't impose the name that killed his wife's father on her.
