As for other things a non Dragonborn wouldn't able to use the Elder Scroll to learn the shout to weaken Alduin, they probably wouldn't have been able to convince Odahviing they were worthy of his help either (espesially without Dragonrend to weaken and trap him).

Also the often used reason of prophecy. It's true the prophecy does kind of mess with my theory on that bit. Maybe that much is true. Thanks for the input, though.

Also, when I was re-playing the DLC Dragonborn I noticed how Miraak says (If you've already killed Alduin) "So you have slain Alduin... Well done. I could have slain him myslef, but when I walked the earth, I chose a different path." which leads me to believe the onlt reason Akatosh gave Miraak the power of Dragonborn was Alduin was out of control, and Miraak was a powerful dragon preist. But when Alduin left for Skyrim, Miraak chose not to and instead tried to take over Solstheim. And if Miraak was always dragonborn, he would have used his power long before that, instead of ever serving the dragons.

What do you think about that?
