Bran's Age at the Start of the Series
Bran is 7 years old when the series kicks off, which might be a mere coincidence if it were any other character. See, not only do Bran's actions (climbing a tower, seeing Jaime and Cersei together, getting pushed off) set the action of season one into motion, but after seeing his role in season six, it now seems that he may have put several other huge events of the series into motion, such as: leading the White Walkers South of the Wall, paralyzing Hodor, and possibly, time-traveling to cause the Mad King to go mad. Whatever ends up coming true, you can't downplay the significance of Bran's character in the bigger picture.
