I have to agree; I can't imagine the show will reveal him to be a Targaryen. They made a point of him mentioning that dragons are very intelligent, maybe even moreso than humans. Plus, the whole trust angle and them not eating him/one of the dragons lowering its head to allow him to unchain its neck. That as well as an additional scene or two of him being around them and not becoming charred dwarf would really be all they need to make it work.
It'll be interesting to see how much larger Drogon is than the other two. He was always going to be the largest, but he's been free for years now, I think, while they've been chained up in a dungeon.
