Because the "Big People" kept trying to adopt solitary Hobbits that they met, thinking they were orphaned children (which is why the Hobbits had become so averse to travel and "adventures" ).

Why did the Balrog really chase the Dwarves out of Moria?

He was trying to make himself mithril armour but the Dwarves kept stealing his mithril so he decided they had to go.

Legolas was totally confused and thought that they were at Speakers' Corner at Hyde Park (a location only existing millennia later).

Well, he tried Moria but the pickings were slim, not to mention the Balrog was far too possessive of the mithril and flatly refused to share it.

Elves were jealous of the female dwarves which is why they were seldom seen as the male dwarves had to keep them concealed inside their mountain halls.

Why did Gollum keep following the one ring?

Actually, he had become disgusted with the One Ring and living under the mountains. So he just followed Frodo and Sam to keep them out of trouble, hoping to follow them back home to the Shire once they were done with their quest.

He used his largest ax to do something like a pole-vault, allowing him to cover much more ground than just by running.

Why was Gimli really forced to sit behind Legolas on the horse carrying them both instead of taking the reins himself?

The dungeons were really a mess, so Sauron, knowing about Finrod's ability to rule underground places, hoped that Finrod would be able to get the dungeons cleaned up.

Why did Lúthien (with some help from Huan) really decide to evict Sauron from the Minas Tirith of the First Age?

She started an interior decorating company and, as she despised the colour black and loved pastels, she threw Sauron out so she could redecorate. (He was NOT happy about it!!!)

Lúthien knew (she's half Maia, in case you've forgotten!) that a Silmaril would enhance the beauty of any woman who wore it, and didn't want more that one (which she rightly guessed would be hers) around!

Why did Fëanor create exactly three Silmarils, not more and not less?

Yes, Gando, I'm aware that Lúthien is half Maia.

.... because he suffered from severe OCD and made everything in threes; believing that any other number would bring him bad luck.

Confronting Fëanor was a later legend. Actually, Míriel, Fëanor's mother, had finally become lonely in Mandos and telepathically informed Melkor that the Silmarils were at Formenos. She also knew that only Finwë and not Fëanor was there, so making sure that Finwë would join her in Mandos.

Property, of course, lots and lots of acres of beach front property that he got for a song (literally) and built a beautiful home on. In Valinor he had to live with a nagging sister and a brother who kept losing, or breaking, his best tools.

Why did Legolas really take Gimli to Valinor with him?

Frodo's feet hair got singed off while he was walking through the planes of Mordor, and a Hobbit without hair on his feet is just not a real Hobbit (Merry's and Pipin's on the other hand grew like weeds from the Ent-draughts).

Why did Eowyn really attack the Witch King?

To try and track Gandalf's movements, which he found almost impossible. Anything else he found was purely by coincidence and did not hold his interest in the least.
