i think that tolkien wasn't even thinking of making the valar like angels-angels do not show wrath. I think that was just purely coincedental. Also, angels were more or less messangers of God, and held some but not supreme power over a said dominion, while the valar could lay curses upon any who crossed them and were more essentially the kings(and queens)of Kings.While there are some similarities between them, i don't think that is what tolkien had in mind, although your points were very interesting, and had very good points.
