Strange, because if he said it in HoME, then how did it become the widespread view, since HoME isn't all that well-read except among fanatics like us. I think it probably comes from the faeries, gnomes and pixies and other mythological elf-type-things that had pointy ears, and so they've kept them. (There's probably an old thread on this somewhere.)
