She may be acting as an informer for Mom, so she doesn't need to go trotting off out of Lórien....

*cough*
Very good thinking there!

Yep, he could be, you know. Firstly Gandalf means "ELF with a wand". Secondly Gildor himself cannot get his ancestry right: "Gildor Inglorion of the house of Finrod", when everyone knows Finrod died a bachelor. An impostor, no doubt. And thirdly both G and G display very similar attitude: going away at a crucial moment to mind their own business leaving others fight their battles.

And ah, please, no need to be serious about these crackpot theories. It is just for fun.
