All this talk of the origins of Hobbit-folk makes me wonder... what the heck is Gollum? I'm too lazy to look it up right now, but I seem to recall intimations of Hobbitish descent. Is he a twisted Hobbit? A Man-child who was stunted and corrupted by the radioactive glow of the One Ring? Something else?
