 True.  But in 2, 3, 4, and 5 the process is cumulative.  In two we have Frodo and Sam.  Three adds Pippin.  Four adds Merry.  Five adds Fatty.  Still it's a good point that chapter one focuses on a single Hobbit.  Alas, the pattern is broken in chapter 6 (as it had to be at some point, or we'd have quite an army by the end).
