Well, if you take bloodlines to be genetics, then Eldarion and all the daughters of Aragorn would be considered (roughly) half-elven, even if they wern't given the official title of Peredhil. (sp?) And though Arwen forsake her immortality when she married Aragorn, if we take the example of Luithien (who bore Elros and Elrond, right?) then Eldarion would be able to choose his speicies. Also, if he had chosen to be Elven (he didn't, he went on to be the next king of Gondor and Arnor) he would even have been able to go into the West. I just went and checked (because I couldn't remember exactly [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] ) and you can see that Legolas and Gimli went into the West together after King Elessar died. It doesn't make note of it, but also, in theory, one of Aragorn's daughters could have made the choice and left Middle Earth.
Sorry if that didn't make too much sense...I'm on a sugar high [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
