Tolkien himself somewhere stated that Tom came into his writing, without Tolkien came to think of putting tom into it, he just came during the writing. this was possible because he existed earlier. in this case, Tom is just an anomaly wich wasn't happy in his own story and thus went to another one. (I know this sounds stupid, but it's the best i can put it in words)
