Probably because there's no guarantee of finding a super-good actor to play someone that age, and Toby's part required relatively little acting? Also, I'm pretty sure the actor who played him was older than that; in one of the standing shots, it looked like he was taller than Helena Bonham Carter. I would say he's at least 12.

Also, I think the person who played Lucy was from the Broadway, but she was an insane old women and was supposed to sound that way. So she pulled that off well, but we don't get a concept of whether or not she can actually sing.

Edit: Ed Sanders (actor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Apparently he's 15!
