I think it was. I'm thinking that Morgoth, Sauron, Saruman, Balrogs and such were all Maiar (Vala, in the case of Morgoth), and so repentence works differently for them (if at all). But Gríma is a Man, which as many have pointed out, is a very corruptable race. Knowing this, the Powers that be would provide an easier way to forgiveness for Men: you just ask, and try to do better next time.
Come on, have we learned nothing of pity or mercy from reading Tolkien?
