Where did Hobbits come from?

[Landroval]

I think that the quote in question from the Silmarillion can be better understood in the light of this statement from HoME X:

or, as stated in the letters:

I don't have ANY problem to see hobbits being created by Melkor.
They have the exact qualities reguired for perfect spies.

On another hand, what made you think that Melkor was promoting evil-worshipping?
Melkor is a part of Eru, his own thoughts. He is the force of nature, which could be destructive, but nevertheless impartial.
According to Tolkien, the world, which Eru has created, doesn't have Good or Evil, and all actions, which we are considering Evil,....would become a part of the World, which is God's and ultimately good. (Letter#151)
So, whatever Melkor was doing, it has been done with Eru's blessing as a counterbalance between two directions of nature, which we call Evil and Good, but which are constantly interchanging.
