You know, it is really helpful when you post so clearly. Then I can tell you for sure whether you're on the right track, and you will know for sure whether you're right or wrong.

Besides, did I not tell you that the we the audience KNOW this speculation is incorrect? You are looking for impossible suggestions!

Well, there is that instance where Theoden and Fingolfin were compared to Orome...

But no one in the books went 'Oh, they remind me of Orome, they must be related to him!' or anything similar

Right. You are looking for an instance that's not merely a comparison, but a semi-serious suggestion of familial relation. However, the made-up example here is exactly the kind of thing you need.


To help you out, it is NOT a Sil/other First Age event.

So you're saying that someone said/thought 'you remind me of X, are you related' to someone else?

Different grammar, similar concept. X reminded someone of Y, and prompted a semi-serious suggestion of familial relation.

Apart from Turin/Beren comparison, I can't recall any other such instance without re-reading the books...
