I saw him more as the Guardian of Growing-Up (if anyone can say this better in a way that is not akward, do it). The theme of growing from a child to an adult is a theme expressed in the movie and the books, so it made a lot of sense. By making peace with the dragons, he helped the Vikings and Dragons get over their childish fued (pun intended). By making friends with Toothless, he got over his fear that proved irratoinal, which is something that happens when we grow up. We learn, we understand, we achieve, we help others. That is what Hiccup did.

I do agree with Lifesky in that the title "Guardian of Change" doesn't cut it; it doesn't really grasp who Hiccup is, and what his role as a Guardian would be.
