An interesting observation, Dorathain_Flamesword. And a very reserved reply [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

OK, if Gandalf never for a second leave his companions, what on earth would he need them at all. As probably the most powerful in M-E he could pull out any errand on his own - but for restrictions imposed by the Valar on his interference and dominating. If his companions become too dependent on his power - wouldn't it be kind of domination? So anyway he had to give them a chance to cope on their own (like a dad would do, to give the kids the feeling of being worthy), which they did for most time well. If not - then he was somewhere around to help, like unexpected reserve force.
