Don't be too rough with each other! We're here to appreciate, and sometimes lightly rib, Tolkien's fantastic creation, and all of its derivative works. Arguments happen, but remember, in the words of Tolkien, that food and cheer and good song are what make a merrier world!

A piece of presumptive fan lore which should be mentioned as often as Aragorn's broken pinky toe is the idea that Gandalf may have fathered some hobbits in his rebellious youth, and that might be the reason why he's so fixated on them.
Of course, the second, more reasonable theory is that he's drawn to their innate purity like a moth to a flame.
The 3rd one that I favour is he's hooked on their weed.
Clearly the halfling leaf has clouded his judgement.
