I posted this on another thread recently but here is the gist of it:

Stiles is the only human connection that we have among the main characters and thus serves an important role in keeping the show and his friends a little "grounded".

@LadyX - My own proclivity aside concerning the ash, ;) I could see Stiles as an emissary of sorts. Maybe he will end up being a "True Druid", lol. JK. But I admit that I'd be more open to that sort of scenario than I would if they tried to make him a shapeshifter, in the vein of werewolves.
