Beorn is a bit too much of a Tom Bombadil for me to like. Oh, he's likable on a personal level, but he doesn't fit nicely into Middle Earth given the info we have on him.

Turin though- his story is perhaps my favorite of all. And I feel he should be compensated for the terrible curse placed on him and the things that resulted. And he really was a good guy deep down. Just see his dealings with Mim, his friendship with Beleg, and his treatment of dear old Sador, and you'll see the type of guy he is when he's not being driven to the brink by unbelievably bad luck (thanks to Morgoth's curse).
