in The Hobbit where the company enters Rivendell and the Elves sing those fairly nonsensical songs to the dwarves and company, yet this type of behavior is not demonstrated elsewhere that I can recollect and thus I always felt that The Hobbit is not the best predictor of a race's true character?

True. But doesn't Sam say something in Rivendell that: "some elves are as happy as children" (while some he describes as "kings")?
And someone (I can't find it anymore, so I don't remember, who it was) said that all characters grow but Boromir and Denethor. I disagree about Boromir. He won himself and died honorably.
And he grew to accept the king.
Nice discussion btw, keep going, I would like to hear more...
