I definately had Mount Caradhras in mind for "Antagonist." That is a clear one. You can argue the journey of Frodo and Sam, any sort of place could act as the antagonist. Mount Doom, Gorgoroth, Emyn Muil, all "physical places" that get in the way and try to stop Frodo from his one task.

I like your post about the Barrow-downs. That is an interesting one that I never really thought of. Good point, we get to see Frodo choose between his friends or his own life, definately reveals a lot about him.
