IIRC, it's not even a foregone conclusion that elves have pointy ears. Tolkien didn't say they did and some artists have depicted them with round ears like humans.

Then there's the question of Legolas' hair color...

And there's the whole "Do Balrogs have wings?" argument...

I thought somewhere there is one fleeting reference to "Leaf-shaped" ears.

And I think Legolas is simply described as "fair"? He's more red-headed in my headcanon, but whether I picked that up from the book or not I don't remember.

But the Balrog definitely has wings. That's my favorite chapter of the whole thing and I know it by heart. The wings "spread from wall to wall."

IIRC it's that the elven words for "leaf" and "ear" have the same root. One hopes that it wasn't oak-leaves that they were referring to.

Not going to get into the balrog-wings flamewar, which was old before I was born, although I actually agree with you - just, Tolkien was less than clear on the topic.
