There's a quote of Denethor's in RotK of him calling Faramir a 'wizard's pupil' (meaning of course Gandalf).

Also we know that Grima was Saruman's pupil, sort of, "...Saruman said them, the teacher of Wormtongue..." (Gandalf, RotK, Houses of Healing).

Of course, these Wizard's Pupils have something else in common: Eowyn.

Think Tolkien meant to have that connection? What do you guys think of it?
