Nope, still not the right one. Bilbo, after all, was not Thorin's servant...

Perhaps it's Lotho Sackville-Baggins
Bilbo was Thorin's host at Bag End, and so was Lotho, for a short while at least for Saruman before being killed by Grima

Interesting, but still not what I had in mind.
More exactly I might say that what represented Bilbo to Thorin, the same represented _______ to Saruman.

Hmm...well
Bilbo probably represented a travel companion to Thorin So to Saruman...perhaps Alatar and Pallando could be the answer...?

Bilbo was also something else to Thorin. But you are on right track. Try to think of something more... personal.

Hmm...
Bilbo helped Thorin recover Erebor, while Steward Beren allowed Saruman to stay in Orthanc

No, this is not correct. Hmm... if someone requests it, I might post a hint (but bearing in mind that when I post it, it might become too obvious. But maybe I am mistaken and it will not).
