Bilbo Baggins.
Another opinion:
Although Bilbo Baggins was Frodo's cousin (he is often assumed to be his uncle, but they are in fact cousins), and Bilbo named Frodo as his heir, I don't believe Bilbo was actually Frodo's guardian during the whole of Lord of the Rings. I think his actual guardian was Gandalf the Grey (later Gandalf the White) the wizard that had been friends with him since he was a child. While Bilbo spent his years in Rivendell writing a book, Gandalf was off helping Frodo to save the world, and doing the best he could to protect the young hobbit on his dangerous journey.
A 3rd opinion:
In the book, Bilbo was 78 years older than Frodo, and he adopted Frodo (age 12) when both of his parents died in a boating accident. Gandalf was an extremely infrequent visitor to the Shire. Gandalf and Frodo were together on the Quest for Mordor for a grand total of three months, and two of those months were spent at Rivendell with Bilbo. I vote for Bilbo as Frodo's guardian.
A confidante is a trusted female friend in whom one confides. Frodo does not have a confidante, though Samwise Gamgee might be considered to be his confidant (masculine form).

Most hobbits say that Bilbo is cracked (mad) and at one point a hobbit says "...and young frodo here, he's cracking!". Most think that they're too adventurous (for a hobbit, that is.)
Dr. John Hamish Watson, but he also in cases gets put with the policemen/detectives Gregson and Lestrade a lot.
