I never really question whether a character is realilistic or not. When I read, I make a kind of deal with the author. I say "Alright this is your book, your rules." I open the book, step into the story and the charicters could be exploding grapes from Mars and it would be alright because they are realalistic to their world. Who am I to question what's real when I'm in someone else's place.

So when I step into Middle Earth and walk through Hobbiton it's real. Of course the hobbit have hairy feet. All hobbits in Middle Earth have hairy feet. Of course Legolas can walk on snow. Of course Gandalf is a wizard. I'm in Middle earth and anything Tolkien wants to be real is real.
