It's always fun to see someone squirm uncomfortably when doing badly on a test, right? 
Call me Rem, and remember, not all who ramble are lost...Uh...where was I?

1. True
2. Dori
3. Gloin
4. Feverfew
5. "Oh, and if there does indeed happen to be a live dragon down there, don't waken it." (I am a little surprised you asked for a whole line- do you get points for getting the gist of it even if you don't remember the exact words?  )
6. True
7. Smaug the Tyrannical (I think)
8. Magnificence
9. “I came from the end of a bag, but no bag went over me.” Since the dwarves and Bilbo didn't have bags go over their heads in AUJ 
10. carrion?
11. daggers
12. False- it was Tilda who threw the plate
13. Nori (I immediately thought "that's a thief's phrasing for you" when I heard it )
14. Twice- when he asks Bilbo to pull the lever to let the water out and when he's on the "wheelbarrow express" down the molten river
15. Bilbo

About the fifth question... Yes, the general idea works fine.

I will treasure this very appropriate golden cup (I love the acorn!). It will take its place at the very front of my virtual trophy case!
And a prize for all the other participants:

no actual promises were made, you just said you'd made up your mind, but didn't tell us how. Still could have gone either way, doesn't hurt to be optimistic.
Nori likes optimism:

We have Thranduil's Thralls and Oakenminxes (was it that?), but there seems to be no name for Nori's aficionados (well, technically there's just one - me). Not that I know of, at least. So, anyone got any suggestions?
