I personally have a different opinion on the importance of Tom. I personally think the Hobbits are the people that kind of link the reader to the world, making it seem more similar. I think Tom is more important because in a way he helps the four hobbits to overcome their fears (with the dreams) Also, he gives them their swords, almost as a "coming of age" point.
