Expert Answer
the explanation of the difference in the electron/proton charge (and, for that matter, the neutron's non-charge) is that electrons and protons are constituted from different sets of quarks (i.e. quarks with different charges)
Its believe that the proton is constituted by 2 quarks with 2/3 charge units each, along with one quark that has -1/3 charge unit (2/3+2/3-1/3=1).
The electron, It believe, consists of 3 -1/3-quarks (-1/3-1/3-1/3=-1)
The neutron (2/3-1/3-1/3=0) (I think..)
