I could see Hiccup being an Airbender. He used to have a really short attention spawn, is remotely carefree, always tries to find a way to avoid confrontation, be it a one-on-one fight or a war. Those are traits he has in common with Aang, and traits common to Airbenders, not Earthbenders.

Besides, that could lead to really interesting things! Imagine the Vikings being a population of Earthbenders, Stoick being an extremely gifted Earthbender, and yet Hiccup couldn't shift a rock to save his life. Everyone is convinced that he's not a bender, until he finds his true element, Air. Turns out his mother came from an Air Nation which was devastated long ago, and this is where he got his genes.
