I always saw the inheritance angle as dealing with Eragon having the same name as the first dragonrider, gaining the last "free" dragon as so many years, the whole "you inherited this destiny from the moment Saphira choose you" thing. Which is why everything comes so annoyingly easy to Eragon, he doesn't need to earn it, simply "inherit" it.
