And yet the idea of Astrid becoming leader doesn't make sense one bit. Hiccup defeated the Red Death by training a dragon, something to be thought impossible, and convincined an entire village (Well, almost entirely) that they should make peace with the creatures they have been fighting with for years.

He started a Dragon Training Academy, and saved the island numerous times from all sorts of dangers, from wild dragons to hostile Viking tribes. He ended a long fued with the Outcasts, ended a war with the Berserkers, pacified the Screaming Death and discovered an entire new area.

Hiccup is a geat leader. The fact he is very intelligent and creative is what makes him such a great leader. Astrid would make an excellent second-in-command, but leader? I don't think so. Hiccup is fit for the role.
