I still can't comprehend why Glorfindel wasn't sent as one of The Nine Walkers.... Unless maybe it has something to do with the fact that Gandalf had to acomplish his task alone and without aid and maybe if Glorfindel was around events with the balrog may have gone differently. Mayhap this may only have been a good thing for the imeediate future and would somehow turn out for the bad.

Is Glorfindel's fea altered at all now that he has been 'reincarnated'. Or is he just the same and no more than he was before? Has he maybe learned more than those that haven't been 'reincarnated' and maybe this is why he doesn't accompany the Fellowship? Maybe he has learned too much in the halls of Mandos to beallowed to have an effect on events in Middle-Earth, maybe he can't interfere directly like the Valar them selves and to some extent Gandalf?

Sorry if my rambling is complete nonsense. I feel kinda lost, but am planning to buy the other volumes of HoME soon!
