Gollum was a Hobbit, right?
Here's my question: If I'm not mistaken, it was made clear at the council of Elrond that Gollum was a Hobbit. If it was made clear, then Frodo and Sam heard it. So...do you think their knowing this had anything to do with Frodo's pitying him or Sam's distrusting him? Also, did it have anything to do with Gollum's interaction with them.

If I'm just proclaiming my ignorance, please forgive me for wasting space on the forum.
