High elves?

[Jurion]

Elrond's father Earendil was half elven half human. His mother Elwing was Elven and human as well, though I can't remember which perpoetions, but I think she's a bit more elven, and also 1/8 Maiar. Therefore, Elrond may be halfelven, but he's more elven than human. Becuse of this I think he can be classified as being of elven kind.

But Elrond's brother Elros, who was clearly no Elf, had the same lineage. Elrond being an Elf comes from choice given to all half-elves. Elrond chose to be counted among the Firstborn, while Elros chose to be a king of Men.
