I just want to say that on the whole Miraak vs. Alduin thing. Yes Miraak could learn dragonrend and maybe he could have killed Alduin, but remember, when Miraak was around, Alduin was the Supreme Thur Lein (dragon speak for overlord of the universe, mundus, etc.). Despite his big talk, Miraak was probably too afraid to ever directly challenge Alduin. Besides, Hermaeus Mora had to save Miraak from another Dragon Priest (Vahlok) anyway, so how could he take Alduin?
