Regarding youth, I work in a teaching hospital, and I tell you, I feel like I am old enough to be the mother of some of those newbies. At least physically, I am much younger emotionally and mentally 
As we already know he is a genius, although much less so than River, I find it quite reasonable that he be this young and so accomplished. His father had been obviously pushing it at him his whole life, so even at about 14 (the age I assume that flashback takes place where his father gives him that access device) that was his goal.
Sean admirably portrays the single-mindedness necessary to save peoples lives, and a calm personality that assesses the options available.
I disguised the fact that he is my favorite character quite well, didn't I?

Hehe, I feel the same way about Simon--what a great character. I find him interesting because he seems so professional and confident in what he does, but he is often out of his element and involved in other situations where his cockiness makes him look quite awkward ("you've got this on...wrong!").
As for young, I always think back to Star Trek, and characters like Captain Kirk and Commander Riker. They started out young and people gave them hell for it, but they were good at commanding.
