Magpie:
Harry would be officially an adult, but one just starting his life.  Put 
them together and Frodo is obviously the adult character.  There's a huge 
difference between 18 and 50, even in hobbit years. Harry's just come of 
age.  I don't think he's ready to leave his Shire. Pippin going over the sea 
would have had a slightly different feel to it. It's sort of the difference 
between "I can legally drink--woohoo!" adulthood and the "I'm 
well-established in my adult life" adulthood.
