Greyhavener: Gandalf is indeed the wisest of the Maiar, and very much acknowledged as it after Sarumans treachery was discovered. The reason, I think, that Saruman became Head of the Order, was that he was the most intelligent of them, and in addition he knew a LOT about Sauron... Though both Galadriel and Elrond wanted Gandalf to be the greatest of the Order instead...

Arwen Undómiël: I think Goldberry was an elf, but Tom Bombadil; concerning him, Tolkien has stated that his race is one of the mysteries of Middle-Earth [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. There is an article here, though, if you look up Tom Bombadil. Some even thinks that he's a Vala, or Eru himself.
