In seasons one though (most of) season 5, Dean, out of fear (and probably an ingrained tendency to expect the worst case scenario), could not cling to faith that Sam was not evil and could make choices that would affect his own destiny. 

Sam was not, in fact, evil, and always had the ability to take his own fate his his hands and the love for and faith in people that has made him such an amazing character. But there wasn’t another Sam to mediate for him, so the brothers had to struggle for each bit of insight.

It’s so heartbreaking and hopeful and lovely to see Sam tentatively stepping in with hope for another person with an evil birthright, and it’s humbling to see how things could have been—would have been—if things had been different.

I’ve said this a million times, but… if Sam had a Sam to fight for him, things would have been so much different.

Firsthand account from ‘06 Paleyfest:

So we’re waiting in line at the Paley Festival, and I’m coming out of the men’s room (which is a rather hard-to-spot door) and there’s this high-pitched shrieking coming from my right beyond the ropes, so I’m turning left and looking right, and walk right into a guy who’s looking to his left, and our belt buckles clink, and there’s a potted plant on one side and a wall of security guards on the other (with their backs to us) so nowhere to go and I see this poor guy looking quite unhappy (the wrinkled forehead, the tightness around the eyes, not breathing) and I think ‘Hm, Ackles is six foot exactly, so there’ because we’re exactly the same height and he’s got this miserable expression that says ‘please don’t be a freak please don’t be a freak’ and I step into the potted plant to let him past, and he nods in thanks, but security is in ‘protect the Pretty’ mode and now he can’t get past them either, (I scared them, coming out of nowhere) and his eyes are darting around and the shrieking (you know who you are, DeanGirls) was causing little birds to fall dead from the trees for blocks around and he was looking more uncomfortable and then (this is the part you’ll think I’m inventing but hand on my heart) he suddenly exhaled, and the tension around his eyes relaxed a bit, so evident that I turned to see what had caused this. About thirty feet ahead was the photography backdrop area, lights and cameras and fans and reporters and Jared and he slid between me and the guards and Padalecki had a microphone in his face, and smiling at the reporter, but his eyes were on Ackles coming towards him.

Dean guards Sam. Jared guards Jensen.
