I am glad that I am not the only one to ponder about such things.
As for Tolkien's early invention of Elvish languages, I think the idea of creating those only were only sparked by love for other languages before; a love built from tales and stories he had already read back then. But I would doubt that he had the perceptions of a full-fledged philologist already, this I can readily admit.
