John Howe gave elves pointed ears in his illustrations as did Alan Lee. My favorite picture of Galdriel by David Wyatt shows her with an elongated and slightly pointed ear, but it can be debated.
I know that John Howe's illustration of the hobbits hiding from the Ringwraith has one of the hobbits with pointed ears (the one covering his face), and Alan Lee has some hobbit ears that are suspiciously elongated.
Its hard to tell, because most of the illustrations I have handy are pictures of elves and hobbits with long or bushy hair.
