Hmm, yes, I agree.  However, the mentor/protector usually
dies in stories of this kind, resulting in an
"oh no, now we're screwed" kind of atmosphere before
the hero ultimately triumphs.  There's plenty of 
examples, a good one being in Star Wars, where 
Obi-Wan is killed leaving Luke undertrained and underprotected.  

However, one thing the books have never been is
predictable, so it's anyones guess if this common
"good vs evil" plot line will be maintained. =)
