Bran is the actual Lord Stark of Winterfell, right? Except everyone thinks he's dead.

Huh??

If his parents were married, he's a Targaryen. If not, he's still a Snow. Or a Rivers or whatever, depending on which region's bastard name was applicable.

Right. From the information that everyone has, Sansa should inherit, since they think there aren't any boy Starks left, and in the North, girls can inherit in that situation. (IIRC, in most of the South, it would pass to the next eligible male heir.)

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

See exhibit A, Lady Mormont.

But yeah, if Bran decides to come back from being a tree wizard, he is technically Lord Stark now.

I suppose being a tree wizard might be like joining the Night's Watch or the King's Guard or whatever Ser Loras was joining before the sept went boom and entail giving up one's castles and whatnot.

Women can inherit in Dorne, although I don't know how clear that's been made on the show. It's not a North/South thing, I mean. I know women are not supposed to inherit the Iron Throne because of History, but I think everything below that can have their own traditions either way, as long as one's bannermen accept the heir.

Dorne isn't really South -- it's kind of its own thing.

It's south of South. But I'll grant the point.

And Cersei just went and claimed it, so.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

And Cersei just went and claimed it, so.

As somebody online pointed out, she didn't just blow up the Faith Militant and the Tyrells, she blew up the entire King's Landing court which would have included the heirs, claimaints and royalty of the other houses. In short, there's really not that many people left.
