no one is immune to dragon sickness, everyone is tempted... though I suppose some are more or less likely to act on their urges than others. Is this what you mean? Making the sickness dependent on temperament needlessly strays from the text, and would undermine Bilbo's force of will and the significance of his gesture when trying to broker a peaceful resolution during the siege.

Nori probably steals more than just the gold in Smaug's hoard

I wonder if he is made to feel redundant by Bilbo?

I'm curious about the relationship between Bilbo and Nori.

Or both?

Indeed, that's a possibility.

Or perhaps his role is to highlight Bilbo's lack of experience

PJ's LOTR does remind me of America now that you mention it.
