well, i thought there might be 7, but i could only thik of the 3 in the bible as well, thankyou google. Remember, you're only as good as your google. Anyway, it does seem taht Tolkien used that idea of 7 as well. By the way, there are 8 planets, Pluto would be classified as a captured comet if not for the institution that discovered it's lobbyists. Anyway, the Valar are not perfect by any means, but maybe ur a little over the edge there.
Also, the fact that the Valar did no intervene and were weary for a time does not imply that they lost power, but that they were weary for a season. As you will remember, Gandalf was weary after teh door spell in Moria, yet still managed to take down an age old balrog/maya.
