Another thought I want to bring to the House.

The main point for this post revolves around what GRRM says right here:
And Jon Snow, too, is drained by the experience of coming back from the dead on the show.
Right. And poor Beric Dondarrion, who was set up as the foreshadowing of all this, every time he’s a little less Beric. His memories are fading, he’s got all these scars, he’s becoming more and more physically hideous, because he’s not a living human being anymore. His heart isn’t beating, his blood isn’t flowing in his veins, he’s a wight, but a wight animated by fire instead of by ice, now we’re getting back to the whole fire and ice thing.
So, Fire Wights. That's what these people who are brought back by the Red Priests and Priestesses are. Wights.
Clearly they are not the same as the ice wights we know, but there must be a few commonalities aside from 'both brought back from the dead'. And at first I wondered if maybe Fire Wights can fall the same way Ice Wights do (kill their reanimator, and the soldiers fall). But no, because Thoros was killed and Beric is still kicking around. So the death of Melisandre won't necessarily take Jon down with her.
But something might.
