Before his death, Jon Snow was on a trajectory that took him and his personal goals more and more in conflict with his obligations to the Black Watch - and despite his election as its Lord - the feeling looked pretty mutual in short order, so mutual that they killed him.
If he's brought back, the oath he took, to the death, will have lapsed. And that frees him to do whatever he will.
You'll remember that he was legitimated by a king and so he is is no longer, legally, a bastard.
If you put it all together, his resurrection puts him on the path to be a contender for the Iron Throne. It puts the Starks back in the game. If they bring him back.
