well im gonna take a more symbolic view towards the wind and personnally i dont think one of the omnipotent powers would have the arrogance to mock the noldor in their day of greatest defeat. IF, special emphasis on if, it was manwe who sent the wind it wouldnt have been like a parent scolding a disobiedent child it would be on of sorrow for the lose and waste of so many good fellows. Now to my point on the IF, it may not have been manwe or the other powers weaping for the lose but the world itself and as we all know Tolkien was quite the pacifist so it would be an excellent literary tool saying that the world itself weeps and mourns for the dead and lost. Next point, it may not be a mournful wind but more of a statement to those left not to despair and that there is still hope and too keep pushing on considering that often wind is symbolic of change in many tales and stories, ie in the War of the Ring just as the winds change help comes unlooked for. This wing was probably more of a statement to Melkor then to the Noldor saying basically you have one the battle but the war is hardly through. and thats my two cents
