Something I noticed.

There are two characters in The Silmarillion that I'm aware of who are described as having a darkness in them before they actually even did anything.

There's Fëanáro, and Galadriel said it.

And there's Maeglin, and Itarillë said it.

... The thing is, both of them were also motherless - Fëanáro having never really known his, and Maeglin having lost his (and his father) through an incredibly tragic event.

I wonder if that "darkness" that Galadriel and Itarillë saw was simply trauma and not a darkness of character, but they were simply to inexperienced to tell the difference. (Itarillë might've also had the same thing, considering what happened to Elenwë.)
