Yes! Elves have pointed ears! Why? I do not know! I think it`s kinda one`s own opinion. Kinda like Balrogs with wings. Personally, I find pointy ears cute.

No way, man!
I voted no. Elves were genetically identical to humans in every way. It was just their Fea that was different, tied to the earth. Their body was the same as Men. The only men I've met with pointed ears got them surgically, not organically (Don't ask.)
So, what's the point behind these polls? I've read enough of your posts to know that you wouldn't bother with such questions unless you had something in mind. So, what is it? I can't wait to find out!!

Sadly, this does not definitively prove that Elves' ears are like humans', insofar as there can still be wide variety of variation in things like eye shape, skin colour and, presumably, ear shape within species. As to any ulterior motives, I am sad to disappoint you in admitting that I have none. If you can think of any yourself, however, do please let me know so I can enact them.

I think Tolkien let them have pointy ears, but just didn't wrote it in the books. He didn't because in other older stories Elves had point ears, so he thought that everybody already knew

Also, while pointy ears were certainly never proven, it was hinted at... rounded ears on the other hand were never even hinted at. "Similiar" doesn't mean exact copy. There can be some differences while still retaining similarity.
