Humble in part by choice, Dubulous. Humple, not subserviant.

Certainly there are moments when his great power should and does show through. And certainly Galadriel is great. But she is NOT his superior, nor his director, nor his commander, nor his supervisor. He is not a supplicant of Galadriel, and that much should be made clear. To suggest that she is somehow in a position of authority over him, in anyway, or that because of his humble bearing she is actually the Holy one and he a mere acolyte of her glory, is terribly misleading and contrary to the facts.
And what are you saying exactly, by "hoping they do no such thing"? Are you seriously saying you would have a problem with Gandalf, the emissary of The Valar, giving any advice or being seen to be capable of advising the Lady of Lorien? Really? Are you honestly saying he should seem like her subsidiary, and that the lay audience should be given that impression? If so I must fervently and emphatically disagree with your notions.
"Hear me, hounds of Sauron, Gandalf is here! Fly if you value your foul skins, I will shrivel you from tail to snout if you step within this circle!"
"Do not be to eager to deal out death in judgement. Even the very wise cannot see all ends."
