Well, macaroni, after re-reading the appendixes to RotK, combing the Letters carefully, twice, and looking through all the footnotes of the Forgotten Tales, juxtaposing my research with popular Scandinavian, Celtic, Finnish, and Anglo-Saxon mythologies, and then throwing in a smattering of Greek, Persian and Egyptian mythologies for good measure, exploring all the writings of every member of the Inklings with special attention to CS Lewis, logging all his entries dealing with the fey folk and his descriptions, and then running similiarly worded sentences through a search engine of all known fantasy literature, I have concluded that we do not have definitive proof whether or not Tolkien intended Arwen and Elessar's children to have pointed ears, or even if he intended them to have ears at all!
