I was wondering if anyone else thinks that Elronds more intimate invovemnt with the affairs of those opposed to Sauron (such as assitng the Dunedain and regularly allwong youn heirs to the throne of Gondor [such as Aragon] to reside in Rivendell under his protection) may have had its basis in personal grudge against Sauron, above and beyoned the hatred felt for him by all of the free people of Middle earth. Sauron after all amoung his other crimes caused though his influence the downfall of Numenor, and Numernor had been founded by Elros, who was Elronds twin brother, so Elrond may have felt that Saron had commited not only a horrible act but a direct attack on his own immediate family. What do you all think?
