Well, this would make sense then. Yes, I agree and now thinking of it, I really see Glorfindel very likely to be a part of the Council. People (and elves) are not sent back for nothing, and if he was there to battle against Sauron in some very important way, it would be quite strange to act "solo" and not to coordinate (at least in the main things) with the rest of the Wise.
That Celeborn thing... well, I think the proof is still less solid than Glorfindel's. Although being head of the Galadhrim, he still didn't participate on many things in which Galadriel did. I would like to see something of at least 99% value of putting him to the Council.
