By the way, noWizardme, welcome to the Reading Room! All your examples are great. One that I remembered today was Wormtongue killing Saruman at Bag End, putting an end to his treachery and doing the hobbits a favor by keeping blood off their hands. As long as he was alive, Saruman would have continued plotting mischief however he could. Gollum became evil once he killed Deagol to get the One Ring, but the ring was trying at that time to get back to Sauron and took advantage of anyone that came along. Gollum foiled those plans by taking the ring under the mountains for centuries, beyond the reach of search efforts by Sauron and Saruman. At the Pelennor Fields, Eomer notes that the outer walls could have been held by Sauron's armies to foil the charge of the cavalry, but Sauron's nihilistic forces tore the walls down without need, unwittingly aiding Rohan's attack. Speaking of needless violence, Saruman didn't need to make an enemy of the Ents by wantonly destroying their woods. Without the Ents entering the war, Isengard would have remained intact, Helm's Deep would have fallen, and Rohan would have been invaded by the Wold.
