Well, to settle the question about Balrog wings forever, let's just take a test shall we. What would look cooler-a huge demonic devil-like creature with wings, or a huge demonic devil-like creature without wings. I personally think that even though there is no conclusive evidence that they had wings, wings still would be cool. Very cool, and even more intimidating and dangerous. Plus, I'll say it again, the balrogs wings were only described metaphorically as great wings of shadow, but isn't the balrog itself made of shadow? Why can't that shadow be the same as the fire covering veil of shadow the balrog is enveloped by anyway? Plus Thranduil was described as having golden hair so why not his son as well. As for Bombadil-he's a leprechuan-okay he's not, but he reminds me of one. And I believe the entwives were spotted last in the Shire.
