Ah yes, Bandobras, in S.R 1147, if I'm correct. ;) Tolkien's son, Christopher explains that Hobbits were in fact a reflection of John Ronald. Ronald also being an avid tobacco smoker and loved simple things, beautiful things such as trees and wildlife. This can be seen in Hobbits. Also, Hobbits before Bilbo and Frodo were not well-known characters, not 'acknowledged in tales of old.' When Bilbo lives his adventures, which increased Hobbits popularity, and then a small frodo completing his task making Hobbits loyal and respectable creatures denting them a mark on the earth. JRR conveyed himself here as he was not renowned and often titled as 'absurd'. As he gradually completed LOTR, he completed himself. That is why he makes Frodo complete his task, even in the problems that he faces, as John Ronald faces the oncoming problems, he also completes his task. He makes hobbits special, loyal creatures, full of interesting characters. They are my favourite ;)
