Personally, I'd associate the palantir with Saruman and a roaring fire with Denethor, and no I'm not being flippant. After seeing how Denethor ends it's hard to think of anything else in connection with him.

The secondary characters are a little more nebulous than the Fellowship, that's true; though you could associate Treebeard with a bowl of Ent-draught very easily [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. Faramir and Eowyn are harder - I tend to think of them not so much in connection with objects as with particular moments; for Eowyn, raising her sword to strike the Witch-king, for Faramir, being carried away unconscious from the pyre of Denethor. Don't know why, it just happens that way.
