[Game of Thrones]Why do people people say that Jon Snow has a claim to the Iron Throne even after Robert Baratheon usurped it?

Robert Barathian has a claim to the throne through a grandparent (I think) of his being married a Targaryen. This gives him royal blood more recently than any other house. Should the line of succession fail (for example if he killed them all) then his family would stand to inherit the throne. It turns out that Jon Snow is actually Aegon Targaryen the legitimate son of Rhegar Targaryen the prince heir to the iron throne. This makes his claim to the throne much stronger than Roberts since he's actually the first in line. Of course what most people forget is that to be a king requires a kingdom. No point being the king of nothing, the people have to rally behind you otherwise you get a revolution.
