There's always the chance that he was just used as a way of divine intervention, but I doubth it. I dont know, but when I read the part about Tom I always get the feeling that he is timeless, immortal and divine, kinda like Eru himself. Maybe he is Eru in physical form, inhabiting the old forest of middle earth, watching as each age slowly passes by and keeping himself amused by His Children's wars and struggles :P (after all he never participated himself in the war against Melkor!)
