Well, think about it... if balrogs had wings, even if they were flightless, don't you think Tolkien, an author who usually goes into detail with explaining the common characteristics of a race, would have said so? Just a thought.
Y'know, if he hadn't put that shadow bit in there, this would not be a long argument at all...
