Whoops, bumping this thread up. That was a good answer, Bombur. Only a little note: Tolkien himself stated that Tom Bombadil was one of Middle-Earths mysteries. No one knew what he really was. I don't mean to correct you really, cause perhaps he really was a Maia. But he could also have been a Vala, for example. Someone even thinks that he was Eru himself...
