you hadn't killed him before he could eat all the souls in Soverngard

SPOILER OVER It is true that he gets stronger by eating souls, so yeah, he eventually would have been stronger than a Legendary Dragon but in all honesty thats a very large 'if' as it probably would have taken him a while to get stronger than a Legendary and in that time they probably would have already mustered the courage/effort/cheese or whatever needed to revolt.

Also I doubt spoiler tags are truely needed, it would have been an awful ending if Alduin actually wasn't defeated by the DB. Even then Skyrim has been out for a while now.
