Elves were supposed to have superior senses to humans, such as eyesight and hearing, right?
And who else has hearing superior to humans? Animals.
And what kind of ears do most animals have? Big, pointy ears!
So it stands to reason that if Elves were going to have great hearing, they would have to have big, pointy ears, too. In fact, I think they should have had even bigger ears in the movie.
And they probably should have had great big eyes, too. Like those kids in the Keane paintings.
