I noted also his look of disgust when he pulled the arrow out of the orc's neck after they had escaped down the slide into the cave. Looking at the arrowhead, he spat, "Elves". This was a lovely echo of the moment in FOTR when Legolas looks at the arrowhead in Moria, and spits, "Goblins!" Same beats, same inflections — and I daresay that at that point, Thorin feels about elves pretty much the same way Legolas feels about Goblins.

They're trying to emphasize the Dwarf vs. Elf friction.

There was an earlier thread where a poster got rather upset about reading something in the thread that he didn't know.
