A Balrog doesn't have wings. I don't remember reading that anyway. And no! I don't think elves have pointy ears!
Origins of orcs? I never really thought about it. I suppose they started out nice and probably came over the Sea or something and then there was probably a civil war in which the Dark orcs won and the entire race turned evil. How's that for a theory?!
Tolkien fans tend to get heated up over anything-the origin of a language, the colour of a sword, the morals of a character...Everyone wants to be a Glorien.

Not all those who wander are lost.</p>
