You didn't cite a specific character, so I'll just go into it as much as I can.

Greed is a central theme in The Hobbit. The reader is made to think early on that the Dwarves are trying to regain their lost city and glory, but it seems later that they were really just interested in the wealth. Since the arrival of Smaug, which exiled the Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain, they were seen as wanderers and beggars, and not widely welcomed. Bilbo, though, is never really "taken over" by greed. He is a simple person, and he already wealthy by Hobbit standards. In fact, he offers to give his 1/14th of the treasure to the Elves and Men, so that the siege of Erebor could end peacefully.
