I never thought as it like this. So when we say things along the lines of "Is Tom a Maia" the answer is most definatly No. The question we should be asking is "Is Tom a Ainur?"
Is Tom an Ainur?
Oh that also explains why Morgoth was a Valar, then he wasn't. Its almost as though when he stopped being good master and became less of a Guardian he was not accounted amugst the Valar, and he lost his powers (i know he lost his powers from spreading himself too thin with his evil but i was just saying the non-valar thing may be the finishing toutch).
