Am I right in thinking that Bombadil was an Ainur and therefore more powerful than Gandalf and Saruman? In fact I am pretty sure that if he was then he would be pretty much on par with Sauron himself.

Save me trolling (pun intended) through the Silmarilion someone;-)

I still think it's a pitty that he did not get included though. I liked him but I can see that as far as the story goes he is pretty irrelevent.
