Tar Elenion has just left Hobbiton.

Galadriel was never Feanor's sister. At one point she was conceived of as the daughter of Finrod Felagund (who was named Inglor, at that point) and sister of Gil-galad. Otherwise she was the daughter of Finarfin.

Of the others [the 'immortals'] only Gandalf might be expected to master him - being an emissary of the Powers and a creature of the same order, an immortal spirit taking a visible physical form. In the 'Mirror of Galadriel', 1381, it appears that Galadriel conceived of herself as capable of wielding the Ring and supplanting the Dark Lord. If so, so also were the other guardians of the Three, especially Elrond. But this is another matter.
The "especially Elrond" is very interesting. Why would he be "especially" capable. Could his 'divine' heritage have something to do with it? As has been pointed out, he was part Maia (in effect, descended from the 'gods').
