I reckon Old Man Willow was a huorn gone bad and had taken up carnivorous tendancies, a bit like a giant Venus fly trap.

Tom also mentions the 'black alder' at some stage, presumably another huorn-ish baddie?

WitchKing had been in the area of the Barrow Downs stirring up the denizens, I'd guess that he knew nothing of Old Man Willow, after all the Forest was on Tom's patch. Maybe though the 'evil vibes' made OMW rather more active than usual?

Did OMW sing a 'sleep spell' (like Luthien etc) ? Or was it a subconscious thing?
