As far as prophecies go, that's entirely unfair to base facts off of them since they are in fact theories. Alduin's Wall was the prophecy of Alduin's defeat by the last dragonborn. Whether or not our character is actually the last in line is up for debate, but regardless. As far as lore goes, our character does have a legitimate claim to the throne, whether you'd pursue it or not is kind of up to Bethesda in elder scrolls VI. Of course believing they're not just going to disappear like previous heroes (Ex. Nerevariene or Hero of Kvatch, although the latter is plausible for being the new Sheogorath.) In case you've forgotten, none of the previous lines of emperor's had anything in common. The Alessian Dynasty began from a slave, Tiber Septim was just a soldier. While those dynasties may very well be done, who's to say our dragonborn can't start a line of their own? Of course this is all theoretical since we haven't been given the chance to pursue this line from Skyrim's take. Regardless, our dragonborn does have a legit claim to the throne. Race really doesn't matter any way since they've had Imperials, dark elves, and nords on the throne. Granted it might be hard for an altmer dragonborn to gain the respect of an Empire that now has prejudice against the Almderi Dominion, it's more of an ironic twist of a high elf blessed by Shor (lorkhan), sworn enemy of elves who believe he took their divinity. Learn Elder Scrolls lore before you start throwing things out there, people.
