As for the prior discussion, I have but one question:
Why would balrogs have wings if they could not fly?
Ostriches, Emus, Penguins, and numerous other birds have wings, but lack the ability to fly. Just because a creature can't fly is not a valid reason to say that it definitely can't have wings.
Olorin_TLA, I am glad you posted that quote because I haven't read those books yet, so never read that before. So at least I know for sure that balrogs don't fly.
