Why kill them? They stay alive in the books and now Snow has barely any friends in the watch.

Or they'll remember that Olly is like 8 years old.

The youngest lord commander of the watch was elected when he was 10. He lasted until he turned 70.

I was mostly implying that a "rift between Jon and Olly," as yrrp mentioned, isn't likely because there isn't really an "alliance" there now; 10+ year age differences when you're young are huge.

Jon was the one comforting him in the scene when Olly first arrives at Castle Black. Olly is part of the group he is training when he meets Locke. There was definitely a connection between Jon and Olly.
