Awsome Subject!
#3 Gandalf and Saruman are the ones that I would think that had to have been there. We know that Saruman had to have been there with his devices. Gandalf had actually been inside Dol Goldur before, so he would be a great asset.
Elrond would not be as likely to go as others, his strength was in council not of war, and Galadriel and Celeborn seem the same. If any elf were to go I think that Glorfindel would be the one. What do you guys think?
#6 I think that we could all take it for granted that there was indeed a battle. Gandalf spoke of how they drove Sauron out of Dol Goldur. I seem to imagine as Dol Goldure as a miniature Barad-Dur and I would imagine that his spirit was cast out after the tower was destroyed.
