I do not know how I came up with this idea except it has a connection with a topic I was thinking of posting.
It is my opinion that the Valar for the most part abandoned Middle Earth after they set up Valinor. Except for the war at the end of the First Age and the sending of the Valar they did nothing to help Middle Earth. When the elves woke up they tried to get all of them to leave Middle Earth, if they had succeeded then the elves would have had no effect on the history of Middle Earth which seems to me is against the purpose of Eru. Also the Valar removed the Edain from Middle Earth and gave them Numenor.
Now for my idea: Maybe Tom Bombadil was an Ainur of the Valar class (if that is the right phraseology) that Eru sent to Middle Earth after the Valar set up Valinor.

I wish that were true, because I like that myself. But, Tolkien states that all the Valar were accounted for. Perhaps an Ainu, though, but neither a Vala or a Maia: See
my theory.
And while your at it, I reccomend you take your disscussion to that thread and vote in the poll.
