Some other "veins of hope:" Beren and Luthien claiming a Silmaril (leading Maehedros to believe that Morgoth was not unassailable); the escape of the Gondolodrim from the Nirnaeth (spoiling Morgoth's victory, setting the stage for Huor's vision -- the birth of star, Earendil); the escapes of Elwing with the Silmaril.

Well alright, Palan =], there
are in fact two hopeful things in the Silmarillion. We can count the Tale of Tinuviel as another one, I suppose, as it is a different entity (and is a tale of hope, of escape and high aloofness from the travails of the darkening world); the other three you mentioned are themselves a part, as is Tuor, of Earendil's thread.
