It IS a great discussion. I think that there are also some parallels between Frodo and Christ as well, but I agree with onewhitetree that Frodo could not be called a "Christ figure" in any meaningful way. Mr. U pointed out some intersting parallels between Gandalf and Christ, though I also think that Gandalf resembles one of the OT prophets also (and not only because of the staff!).
