The reason most seem to be two boys and one girl is because it's awkward when it's two girls and one boy. It makes the boy seem girly. I remember there was a book I read where the author sometimes drifts off and talks about other things. She was ranting about how it's always a boy in good stories:

"If [the main character] were a boy, this thought probably wouldn't cross your mind. What if Stuart Little had been a girl? We would have arrested her parents for allowing a young girl to set off alone in a motorcar, that's what! What if Harry Potter had been a girl, spirited away by a giant of a man with a magical umbrella? We'd have said 'No, no,' and 'Tsk, tsk.' "
