Technically the Balrogs are not creatures of the enemy. The Balrogs were not made by Melkor, on the other hand Melkor infused the dragons with his own power. Its still not definate that Maiar inhabited dragons at all, so concievably Voronwe's statement can be reconciled with a little bit of word twisting. Legolas' statement is a little more definate.

Yet the lies that Melkor, the mighty and accursed, Morgoth Bauglir, the Power of Terror and of Hate, sowed in the hearts of Elves and Men are a seed that does not die and cannot be destroyed; and ever and anon it sprouts anew, and will bear dark fruit even unto the latest days.
