So just because one guys said one thing on a forum you believe it? You have both as the Dragonborn, it's true. But there's nothing stating that someone with the Dragonblood is a Dragonborn. That would imply that the soul of the dragon (the requirement for Dragonborn) is genetic and can be passed from parent to child. Blood already is, your genetic code comes from your parents, that's a fact. Your soul comes from whatever diety you believe in or hail from or are blessed by (Akatosh in the case of Dragonborn).
