So have I noticed. I haven't really read The Hobbit fully (I fell asleep after a few chapters [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] ) but it seemed to me that he was highly respected in LotR. Maybe during the time of The Hobbit, he was like Merry and Pippin during LotR, being "stupid" and not much of a help and a burden and all that, but after being able to do outstanding things (Bilbo's adventure, Merry stabbing the Witch-King, and Pippin fighting at the battle before the gates of Mordor), they became the respected hobbits that they were and should be.

Hope I was able to help. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
