The story?
rotfl.
Elementary my dear Watson.
Meaning most likely there's a compelling reason the Inquisitor is the leader and we'll learn it in due course.

First guess is that the new Inquisition comes into existence without Cassandra.  She's a Seeker.  From what I can tell, the Inquisition is a totally independent body that arises separately from Templars, Chantry officials, Seekers, and everyone else, so I assume that Cassandra doesn't head the Inquisition because she wasn't part of it to begin with.  

Supposedly the Inquisitor ends up being the sole survivor of something, right?  Presumably the people who formed the Inquisition were all slaughtered, so you the PC..well, you're it.  Somehow we end up running with Cassandra well after we've become the Big Shot.

Reconsidered, I stand by those reasons, but I think you yourself have managed to overlook your own point:  she's a member of the ruling family of Nevarra, and a Seeker of the Chantry.  She's not exactly neutral.  Even if she technically is as an individual, there's no getting around the political implications--she CAN'T be affiliated with the Inquisition, certainly not as its head.  The Inquisition, we're told, is a neutral, independent body not connected in any way with any rulers or Chantry officials, etc.  There's plenty of reason right there for why Cassandra's involvement with the Inquisition would be very, very unofficial. 

I think having a non-human protagonist as leader - especially a mage - is the big question here, given Andrastian society. I think you could be right about Cassandra offering her aid after the fact.

I think it goes without saying that the reason Cassandra doesn't lead the Inquisition is simply and obviously because she didn't become associated with it until long after the PC had already become the Inquisitor..  The OP question only makes sense if it's assumed that Cassandra was part of the Inquistion from the beginning and was passed over for leadership for some inexplicable reason, and nothing about what we've been shown indicates this will be the case. 

Rather, the PC won't even meet Cassandra until well after they are established as the Inquisitor.  And, again, Cassandra has plenty of reason not to be officially involved, given her connections. 

It'll be interesting to see how the game reacts to an elven Inquisitor, definitely.  Assuming that Bioware delivers on its promise that such things actually will have reactivity within the game.  I'm curious as to the racial backgrounds.  I'm guessing the elf option won't be a Dalish at all, but an alienage elf that got caught in the crossfire somehow.

Adn THAT, is my theory... that it will be explained through the story. 

It's a good theory. Very solid.
