Here's a recent observation I made regarding this. Last week I flew FRA-LCA and noticed 3 different families with children that were not seated together and asking other passengers to switch seats. I got asked by a father if I would switch seats with his young daughter so they sit together.
I found it odd that if each family was booked together why wouldn't their seats be auto-assigned close together. The father/daughter that I switched seats for were originally seated 4 rows apart.
