<<Why did Moshe Rabbenu give Shevet Levi but not the other Shevatim?>>

The Rogatchover discusses this in several places.  He distinguishes 
between halacha, which is "morashas kehillas ya'akov", and "pilpulah 
shel Torah", which Moshe could give to whomever he wished. Unfortunately 
I don't have all of his sources at hand, but see his comments on 
VaYelech 31:9, pp. 258-261 in his peirush on Humash. IIRC he says the 
concepts more clearly somewhere else.
