I dont think anyone mentioned this, but I dont think the Hobbits were directly created like Men and Elves and Dwarves were. Being a strain of Men, they are like a more distant division, like say If there were a realm of elves in harad. They are still elves, but they would be so different. Ok, maybe a bad example, but what i think is is that the river folk grew so appart from Men that they became recognized as a different line. So instead of Illuvatar poffing hobbits next to the Anduin, they were rather 'melded' from men. Whether or not it was by the action of Eru or the Valar cant really be said. Illuvatar didnt need a hobbit to find the ring, or a hobbit to be appointed to carry it. Now while that statement may sound completely false, what I mean is that a character (Frodo) would carry the Ring to Mt Doom. Frodo and Bilbo, being unlike most hobbits, could do that. So Frodo could have been a dwarf who interested in the affairs in the world, instead of being mainly close minded on his own land and affairs. So frodo just happened to be a hobbit, and hobbits just happened to be more resiliant to the Rings temptation. I suppose in this case, it was nature over nurture .
