Beren and Luthien are also the great grandparents of Elrond and Elros (and also, in turn the many, many "greats"-grandparents of Aragorn). That is why Arwen could choose immortality: she was considered half-Elven. She just had to decide before her father sailed over to the Grey Havens.
Glorfindel is a great character that I like, mainly because of how great he was and, although his character was noble enough so as to be reincarnated, they still leave him out of every adaptation of Lord of the Rings...
