Flying is an evasive ability that creatures have, so it's not something that falls under the realm of what Protection from ________ does (for a full explanation, see Gunhaver's post).
The only way your Progenitus could have blocked your brother's flying creature is if you had an enchantment like Levitation or Spidersilk Armor on the battlefield that would give Progenitus those static abilities while working around the restrictions of Protection.

Beautiful BEAUTIFUL card. Jaime Jones did a goddamn fantastic job capturing the sheer epicness of this creature. The heads disappear into the heavens, the body is hazy from the distance alone. You can't even see the entire beast.
If somebody asked me, "Which of these could destroy the magic universe, judging on appearance alone?", Show me any Leviathan, each and every one of the Eldrazi, Nicol Bolas, etc... I'd have to pick the Progenitus every time.
Except that "from the vault" monstrocity; screw that thing.
Game wise Progenitus is a hilarious card. Like the Eldrazi. It's one of those cards that can make either player flip the table. If it gets out, the game is over, if it gets countered or bounced somehow, the defending player's life is over.
I've seen so many climax/anticlimaxes hinge from this critter.

This card has protection from ratings, so I can't give it a rating.

Protection from everything does not make Progenitus invincible, merely very hard to kill.
Protection rule:
Protection from "X" means:
Damage from "X" sources is prevented.
Cannot be Enchanted, Equipped, or Fortified by X sources.
Cannot be Blocked by "X" sources.
Cannot be Targeted by "X" sources.
Use the mnemonic device DEBT to remember this.
Therefore, Progenitus would read as follows:
Cannot be damaged by anything.
Cannot be enchanted by or equipped with anything.
Cannot be blocked by anything.
Cannot be targeted by anything.
Consider the following ways around protection:
1 - Spells and abilities without the word "target" in their text.
A perfect example of a spell of this type is the always amazing Wrath of God.
2 - Sacrificing
Whether you decide to sacrifice Progenitus yourself for some reason or a spell or ability compels you to sacrifice a creature, you must do so if Progenitus is the only creature you can sacrifice. Go... (see all)

as nasty as progenitus is, they still won't let him past the gate of Malakir.

I'd talk about him... but he has protection from being talked about.
