Wonderful, Belin - you started this topic!! Alas for me that it should be one day before I leave on a 10-day vacation, with no certainty of internet access... I will try to post what occurs to me today and hope for an opportunity to continue.
One quick example for a start: The characteristics of a mother are inherited by her childran - I know, that's not an achievement, but it is an important factor in the life of Bilbo Baggins! Had he not been the son of the fabulous Belladonna Took, would he have been prepared for an adventure? Apparently Gandalf thought his mother important, for he mentions her twice in his first conversation with Bilbo in the "Hobbit": Quote:
