So, how do you pull this off? Thanks.

Eh, I guess I'll just have to write the end to the story in my head, where my power hungry PC finally has his reunion with Zevran, at which point he hires him to assassinate the queen so he can take the throne for himself. I knew this game had a happy ending.

You can't marry in and become King in most feudal custom, so Bio writers are just being true to form.

Allister can kill him, and she will marry you. It said something in the end about "if you don't fight for control of the throne, you and Anora can bring in a whole new era."
Exactly, she'll marry whoever doesn't kill Loghain. Or if you leave Loghain alive, she'll marry either you or a hardened Alistair. I've not seen a script where Cauthrein has anything to do with Anora's choices. It's all based on what you say to her and do with her father. If you ever say you're going to kill Loghain before the Landsmeet, she's out. If you kill Loghain yourself, either immediately or after, you can't marry Anora.
And only a Human Noble Male can marry anora. Anything else is out.

No, but you dont have to kill Loghain yourself, you can make Alistair do it, and still marry Anora.
I think in most royal cases the one who married into the line never actually becomes king or queen. They are always Prince or Princess Consort. I could be wrong though.

Historically, it depended completely on the situation, such as the strength of the "blood" candidate, opinions about women in the society, preferences of the noble--and often the size of the candidate's army. Jagiello of Poland and William III of England are two examples of people who became king, and ruled, with a claim solely by marriage--wiki would have pages on both. More than a couple Byzantine emperors used that to establish a claim as well.
On the other hand, competent women trusted by the nobles, or with their own power base, or whose husbands just weren't that impressive, ruled in their own right even after marriage--Maria Theresa, or Victoria or Anne of England. Wiki would have plenty on any of those figures.
As for Anora? I think it would take one heck of an intrigue to unseat her. She'd have plenty of support--popular and noble both--and seemed like a good schemer and gutter fighter, with no scruples at all. If you tried it, chances are she'd kiss you goodnight one evening, and the next morning she'd kiss you goodbye just as sweetly as the executioner took you to the block.

What do you mean, "or"? You've accused her father of poisoning, torture, slavery, and treachery; survived assassination attempts; murdered his closest advisor in his own home, and pulled a supposed bastard of the old king out of thin air to pull that off. You probably lied to Anora about the planned proceedings as well to neutralize her planned oppositon.
I think that counts as pretty serious intruiging.
