What would actually happen if the four hobbits were raised by Gandalf? How would the story be affected? I assume we'd get a Sam, Merry and Pippin who are curious about the world in a different way ie. Sam wouldn't be all excited about "I get to see Elves! Yay!" Frodo would probably be the same old Frodo. OTOH, Pippin would probably get used to being called "Fool Of A Took".

EDITED. Thanks, Estelyn.
