I would like to think that the main difference between the aedra and daedra are where they come from, assuming that the aedra are gods and the daedra are demons. The aedra, who created nirn are able to be killed in their realms, and on nirn since they created it, this is called atherius. The daedra however are the same they can only die in their realms, this is called oblivion. Now the equivelent of the daedric princes are the divines, the equivelent of the lesser daedra (minor gods, so to speak), are the aedra, that "stopped" creating nirn but still participated in its creation, this would include magnus. Since they do not have their own individual plane i would like to think that, as long as a daedra is in oblivion they can die, and as long as an aedra is in atherius including nirn they can die.

I wouldn't look to deep or you may find that the dragonborn is sithis who created all the daedra, and shared in the creation of creating the aedra, so somehow the dragon born managed to give birth to himself. This is if you belive that the dragon born is  a shezarrine. Which would also make him tiber septim. BTW shor is also lorkhan and lorkhan is evil and hates everything.
