I don't think that's a very controversial idea.

I've kicked around the possibility on this forum of Tom being an unaffiliated Ainu who came to Arda apart from those who became the Valar. He clearly does serve a purpose, as he himself recognizes when he tells the Hobbits his being there to help them with the Willow was "no plan of mine". That implies it was someone's plan though.
