There have been hundreds of people born to the Septim  bloodline

and only a few became Emperor

It is easily possible that the Dragon born is an offshoot bloodline of some Septim

Try follow any while family tree as soon as you go back 5/6 generations it becomes pretty impossible to track all the relatives

How could anybody expect Septim to not use their political power/wealth to not have lots and lots of SEX with multiple people

I wouldn't be surprised if 1% of Imperial's was related to them somehow it has been 800 years or more of Septim rule
