I wouldn't ay that they are forgotten. They were just unknown.

The Rohirrim, who at some point (while living in the North) encountered hobbits, preserved memmory of them in tales. Those that lived or travelled by the Shire/Bree knew about them. Other races (eg Ents, like you said) probably never saw a hobbit before LOTR times.
