I'm speculating that both the scene with Catelyn and the scene with Bran and Jojen talking about Robert's rebellion is setting up the backstory so that when we learn in season 8 or 9 who Jon's real parents are it makes sense.

One thing I don't think people who weren't there don't understand is how grunge converged with a lot of other things happening in society to really make it feel like everything was changing.
