If it's anything I've learned from Dungeons and Dragons... Don't ask. lol.
On a more serious note, there's so many explanations that it's hard for us to say. I'm sure it will explain it in game.

Oh, opinion. I thought you were asking fact. :]. You see, you didn't say. >.>
Well my opinion is that perhaps that's some dragon ancestry deep within your character's bloodline. Another idea would be that your family has some sort of blessing from a dragon. IDK about this game, but in D&D, dragons are extremely intelligent and can even speak english so either way.

So your great great grandfather twice removed or something was a dragon?

Something like that yeah. That's pretty much how it works in D&D.

Last I checked, a Dragon and a Human are not compatible as mates

Um....
Think of it like a factory. There's a belt thing that your body's riding on. The machine grabs the wrong soul and before it can do anything about it you're shipped off.
And evidently that soul's a dragons soul.
Maybe that means someone can be born with the soul of an ogre. Or mudcrab.

Maybe you could learn Mudcrab Shouts after you've killed one. Epic.

Given that inheriting a dragon soul through bloodline would mean that
your parents and grandparents would also have the soul of a dragon.
Then, I suppose that the soul of the dragon can lie inert until it feels,
for lack of a better term, a disturbance in the force. It could explain
everything, but it feels a little... under polished.

One of your ancestors had severe damage to their soul and had to get a transplant. So they had a spare dragon's soul grafted in.
Ta dah.

The septim family are all dragonborns think of it that way. They're all kings because they harness super sexy powers though in not entirely sure but I believe the dragon could enchant a human like a Mage to a sword

It's amusing how one question's something like this, after all people shoot jolt's of lightning from their hand's, walk on water, levitate, become invisible etc etc.

Maybe you don't have a dragon soul, maybe he's just wasted on purple drank or something.
