I wonder more why Tolkien decided to give William that surname in the first place! Why a surname? And of all the possibilities he comes up with Huggins! Now really...
It would be reasonable to stand against the tide again and vote for the Great Goblin, but he's just not... well, votable.
I think he was always the mere nobody standing for a role there had to be. A goblin king living under the mountains could have been a formidable character but GG is not.
