You might also consider tweaking for a half-dragon...
My nom de guerre in this forum is my sorcerer from our last full 3.x campaign. He started as a human sorcerer with a couple of silver dragons in the family tree--and a 5 STR (not the mod, mind you, the score). My DM and I tweaked the Dragon Disciple from an old copy of Tome and Blood, and he transformed into a half-dragon over time--think the cliched 98-pound weakling becoming Charles Atlas. Cold breath weapon, not the gas, wings, claw and bite attacks, and a few Dragon Magic spells from a back issue of Dragon. He went from 6'1" and 160# to 11'6" and 400-500# (I forget precise weight). Now we're playing a sequel campaign in 4E, and I'm playing one of Alaric's younger brothers (twins), while Alaric is an NPC at about 28th level on the Demigod epic destiny (whether Alaric likes it or not, and he's a bit embarrassed by the worship that's already started).
Alternatively, you might play on the bit about silver dragons taking human form a great deal (we use that a lot in our games because the campaign world has a whole large island run by metallic dragons, with a considerable human population). Perhaps there's been a curse put on your character, and s/he can't resume dragon form as often as desired--completely lifting the curse could be a research project, or the prize for fulfilling a quest for someone powerful.
