GEO: There seems to be a slight problem in your theory seeing how
two or three ages of the Earth has already passed since LOTR and the 
dunedain don't live that long in respect to those ages.

Though this does bring up the interesting question of whether all 
the wizards and witches in HP are the descendents of the Numenoreans 
or the Dunedain and what the heck happened to the poor elves that 
got them turned into house elves.
