Don't take me wrong...it doesn't matter if Finarfin, father of the Lady, was rightfully king of all the noldor, what i'm stressing here is Galadriel, being the only remaining leader of the exiled Noldor in M.E. had the only right over her people that TARRIED there even after the fall of Melko. It is not by her Sindarin ascent that she could be queen of all elves but rather with her relation with Finwe as queen of all the Noldor in M.E. that's all, i already said why Elrond couldn't be King of the Noldor. just because he descended from Fingolfin doen't mean he could be one. take note that the title is passed to the brother of the former King; it rather went like this: Feanor>Fingolfin(not to Maedhros, Feanor's son)> Fingon(since Finarfin was in Aman)>Turgon(not to Gil Galad, Fingon's son)>Gil Galad> the Lady of Lorien or the Lord of Imladris? the lady, period.
