I saw potential in Merry and Pippin, but this was before I knew they were cousins. The closest Frodo & Sam came was near the end, when Frodo basically said he would be glad to die with Sam, but even that didn't go past friendship imo.

They're cousins on both sides, though, implying that cousin marriage was probably pretty common, which makes sense given the time period it was written in, and the fact that Pippin is basically the king of the hobbits.

I keep trying to tell people this but no one seems to absorb it, the Thain of the Shire is more like a Steward instead of a king.

Hobbits nominally accepted the rule of the kings of Arnor and the office of the Thain was to act as a representative of the king, in the absence of the king himself. It's also a hereditary position, just like the Steward of Gondor is.

Going out on a limb to say that other anon was likely just being glib and just meant leader or head honcho or whatever.
