It has to be said, so I'll say it: he could be a...half-elf. Albus doesn't
mind half-giants, so why not? JKR never said house-elfs couldn't have beards
either. An alternative is perhaps a half-fairy. But hobbit, no. JKR said
significantly that she'd only read LoTR/Hobbit once. You can have parallels
between fantasies, but direct cross-pollination stretches it a bit far for
mine :)
