As an answer to the "If Balrogs couldnt fly, why would they have wings?" question.

Blarogs could take any shape or form they wanted, so in theory, they could have chose/made form that had wings, thinking that with wings, they would be able to fly.
but they did not take into account that no one could fly if they did not know the secrect of flight, so the wings would basicly have been useless.

A baby bird has wings when it is born, but they do not know how to fly.

Personally i think they did have wings but they do not know how to fly.
