I like your theory very much, Lyta, and agree with you!
About the "fading" :in the Silmarillion it is written about the Elves: Quote:
Galadriel says that " We must depart into the West, or dwindle to a rustic folk of dell and cave, slowly to forget and to be forgotten". And in "Farewell to Lorien" Frodo looks at Galadriel: "Already she seemed to him, as by men of later days Elves still at times are seen: present and yet remote, a living vision of that which has already been left far behind by the flowing streams of time." As far as I can remember I have read somewhere that in HoMe it is actually stated that the remaining Elves become invisible or only visible to Men if they will it, and don't have a proper body anymore. (I'll try to search for that...)
