As tangelo mentioned, Hurley could be Charlie's proxy (by bringing the guitar).
On F815, Sawyer brought with him a letter that was important to him. On F316, Jack had the letter from Locke. Perhaps Jack is Sawyer's proxy.
On F815, Rose was holding Bernard's wedding ring. On F316, Sun was holding Jin's ring. So, Sun is Rose's proxy.
Even the guy who was standing behind Jack in line at the ticket counter said (paraphrasing), "Sorry about your loss." Sayid said the same thing to Jack before boarding F815 (referring to Christian). So, Sayid has a proxy we haven't really met yet.
Not long after LOST started, the creators said that everything we needed to know was in the pilot. I'm starting to see now why they said that. (Although part of me wonders whether the 'pilot' with all the answers is Lapedus, not the pilot episode.)
