It's not that difficult to understand, really: Akatosh decides the world needs a new Dragonborn, he makes one - simple as that. Imagine the horror of having an entire dynasty of superpowered emperors and empresses... as if the Septim dynasty wasn't bloody enough without them Shouting each other to death. XD

Yes, I know, the objection about there being no dragons... but the Greybeards were willing enough to anoint both the Skyrim player and Tiber Septim as Ysmir, without there being any other need than simply to prove they were Dragonborn - which was done by quickly learning the Thu'um through the knowledge they provided. As such, any Septim could have become a master of the Thu'um, had they bothered to learn (quite a few lived in Skyrim as well).

Now imagine what someone like Queen Potema or Pelagius the 3rd would do to get such power. The fact that they didn't is evidence enough that all Septims being "of the Dragon blood" is nothing more but a fancy and void title. the way i see it is that potentially the Dragonborn on Skyrim could be actually a Septim

u may ask "but then how the Septims couldnt use the Thu´um or any other power related to the dragonborns?"

i tell u m8 the way i see it is that in fact they "Can´t" use it, let me explain myself... the way the game gives us the dragonborn thing is like " a gift from Akatosh and the divines, the Soul and the blood of a Dragon" for the facts we know on Oblivion, the dragonborn blood could be a fact since the Emperor tells you to find his last son and not other guy nor person and for the fact that all Septims since Talos where "septims of blood" till Pelagius the third.... the way i see it is that they are "latent" dragonborns.. with a potentially force within them... the thing is that since its a divine gift, Akatosh as a being could be able to decide if there is such enough harm to the world to "activate" the power within the dragonblood
