Why does it have to do with elfblood? Or even with Elves?
There are different quotes about foresight in the works of Tolkien and the most obvious I have quoted below. Quote:
Foresight is an ability that we don't know about, because we don't possess such a thing. It seems that only the great have got this talent in adequate amounts to 'see' things. Elrond, Gandalf, Saruman and Galadriel are great ones and I believe they all knew partly what the future held, not to mention Cirdan or even Mandos. The Wise are great and some people beside are great too. Aragorn is one of them, just as is Cirdan and Glorfindel. Frodo belongs to them too according to Saruman. Quote:
greetings, lathspell P.S.: Even Glaurung the dragon was foresighted and you can hardly he was Elvish or had the slightest trace of elfblood.
