Unless you just plop the book in front of the camera and slowly turn pages for ten hours, any adaptation from a novel to a TV show is going to make changes both big and small.
They are taking a lot of subplots out, and creating a few of them.
Since Locke is now dead, there are no loose ends to this artificial subplot. He was simply created to avoid a bigger plot and then killed off.
As for Asha's name, the reasoning was that she would have been too easy to confuse with Osha.
We're still waiting to see where her plot is going, though.
Since they took
Coldhands out of the show, and the whole magic door beneath the Wall, Sam was not sworn to secrecy anymore, so Jon was now aware of Bran being beyond the Wall.
The 'whole thing with Jon and Bran at Craster's house' was a device used to avoid unnecessary, non existing subplots that would bulk up the show.
As far as Stannis goes, I'm still waiting to see what happens.
