Hmmm. I always thought of hobbits as very child-like. And children pick up on everything! They are always very aware of the emotions around them and they have good instincts for trusting people. (This would explain Frodo & Sam's trust of Faramir, Merry picking up on Eowyn's feelings before Theoden, etc.)
But I do also like Diamond18's point about the main character/author perspective. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
