Having said that I think many fantasy novels use the younger protagonists partial for the reasons stated earlier (more able to change and adapt, less set in there ways, still in their formative years) but I think a lot of it is simpler then that too. Many people, myself included, use literature as an escape- a way to see and do things that they will never be able to do and a way to learn from experiences even without having them yourself. By putting these young, relate-able, heroes in these kind of situations it gives you the chance to think of how you would handle it if you were thrust in that position. Would you give in to the sadness and fear, or would you push it to the back of your mind so you could keep functioning and deal with it at a later time? But the main reason (and feel free to disagree with me) is because the audience they are targeting is in the same age group as these protagonists and the goal is to show the reader that despite their age- they can succeed in life, if they just try hard enough.
