The parallels between Gandalf and Glorfindel are pretty striking, even beyond the Balrog fight.

I read somewhere, perhaps here, the theory that there exist in the Legendarium a class of "heroes" known as White Riders. That theory included both Glorfindel and Gandalf within this category, based upon their apparent power over opponents while on horseback and the fact that both seemed to possess an inner white light.
