I have a hard time thinking that Blarogs were average/human/elf height. I think 10-15 feet sounds more accurate.
BTW-How big was Ungoliant. She grew to a rather great height an size after she drank the Gold and Silver trees of Valmar(Sorry I forgot their names), and sucked the Wells of Vadra dry, then eat the gems from Formenos. But she challenged Morgoth for the Silmarils,which he refused to give her. And probably would have bested him, if not for his anguished cry which alerted the Balrogs and destroyed her webs(which had surrounded Morgoth), and beat her back with their whips of flame. And she fled. Now it says that after she had sucked the trees and the well dry she:

swelled to a shape so vast and hideous that Melkor was afraid.

And then after she had eaten the gems:

Huger and darker yet grew Ungoliant.

Anyways the point Im tring to make is if she was so huge and so feirce then why would several man-sized Balrogs drive her away, She had pretty much bested Morgoth, and Balrogs even had some touble with elf-lords and the such. It just seems to me that the Balrogs would/should have been bigger then human size.
Now, I dont if that makes any sense, but in my mind it makes perfect sense! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
