 It seems to me that these two individuals didnt really want people to know their true powers for the time being. And there is a few times from the action of these two, that when people preceived them they say them for what they were(or at least thought they knew). 
As for many I dont think it has to do with the hobbits "size". But if it were me and a hobbit and an old man dressed in wizard clothes came up to me and said "I'm going to help save the world". I would want the old-man on my side. I dont have a thing against smaller people(really I dont), but It seems that older people are just more wise(but some are just plain wacky).  
I agree with you about "Theres more than meets the eyes" with hobbits. 
Ok.....now im started to lose myself.  [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
