Alexander is actually one quarter human, and as we have seen with K'ehleyr
and B'Elanna, human blood makes a Klingons features softer, not more
robust. Also I must point out Torral son of Duras, who as a young boy had
his fathers crab like forehead. There have been many attempts to explain
the change in forehead design, but no really good one yet.
