I think Jallanite that I agree w/ you on all counts. As for Tuor representing himself as of the House of Hador or as a fosterling of the House of the Swan - either can work as can deleting any reference. Since JRRT has him declaring himself which is common practice in M-E then retaining it in some form makes since. He was proud [rightfully] of both. Hador is most clearcut as there is no doubt he could have said that and on one other occasion I think he does in the hidden entrance saying something like 'I am told that these names [Huor/Hador] are not unknown in Gondolin.

Def. the kind of decision we can make as we go thru the text paragraph by P. or however we do it.
