Remembers her post from long ago that started the discussion in this particular direction.....

Saucepan Man,

I agree. Although culture may account for some of the proclivities of the Fallohides, there are points of physical resemblance that go beyond that.

I don't think one can say that the Fallohides got their fair hair and skin or their taller, slimmer build merely by coming into contact with Elves as neighbors. There's just too much coincidence there. Frodo's own physical appearance and his personality seem to suggest something more.
