think you are onto something here. I too wonder if being physically on top of the tomb has its own significance. What does it normally symbolize in society when you are on top of someone else's tomb? Domination maybe? Or what you referenced in terms of the Starks having the wolves and the power of warging. Apropos to your OP - the iron swords on the laps of the effigies of the Lords of Winterfell in the crypts is obviously warding. But they also have direwolves. What if the direwolves are also part of the warding? Possibly wherever the Starks go, even when they're alive? Are you thinking the wolves may protect the Starks against magic aimed at them?

Are you thinking the wolves may protect the Starks against magic aimed at them? absolutely, but maybe only particular types. Ice zombies and ice kings, for instance!

Damnit. I figured it out. The direwolves protect the Starks from the likes of Jon. Grey Wind is saying "Let Jon try to harm a son of yours! I will protect!" Hmm, I always thought that scene was like the scene with Tyrion, the wolves react to the familial smell of him and also the tension that Robb and the boys are experiencing at the moment. Even though Rob disavows knowing why they acted as they did, I think it's a combination of Ghost never accepting Tyrion fully. Or that small affirmation from Ghost towards Tyrion is what sets them off. Not that they don't trust Ghost, but rather Bran (through Summer) smells the familial tie to the man that defenestration him, and Ghost's tacit approval of Tyrion confuses them and when a dog is confused they either whimper or attack. That's the long way of saying, the connection between the wolves themselves and Robb's anger are being shown in Grey Wind's reaction. He's angry at the rejection of one of his siblings/den mates. Just as Robb is angry at the rejection of his brother.
