In the movie, it was because he was left alone in a temple to die and Odin couldn't leave a defenseless baby to die. The other Jotuns left him because he was small (a possible theory.

In Mythology, he was a small Jotun, so he ran away to Asgard where he and Odin became blood-brothers (they cut their wrists and mixed their blood, claiming to be brothers from that day forward). He later finds out he and Hiemdrall were swapped, so he is Odinson and Hiemdrall is a Jotun.

Hope this helps!

Is loki related to thor?

Officially, not in the least bit. Loki is Odin's blood brother, which is not a REAL family relation. Thor is Odin's son. However, there is some speculation that Lothur, Odin's brother mentioned along side Hoenir, might be an earlier version of Loki. In which case, Loki would be Thor's uncle. Of course, there is not the least bit of hard evidence that points to this, just circumstantial.
