Who is frodo's confidant?

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.


Why does Bilbo regret his comment about the barrel rider to Smaug?

Calling himself "Barrel-rider" told Smaug that the Lake men of Esgaroth were involved in the affair somehow, and caused his wrath to be unleashed on them.Bilbo is afraid that the dragon will figure out he came from the Long Lake and had the aid of the lake men.

Why is Bilbo pleased that he is only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all?

Bilbo doesn't care about his "side", Actually. The whole book is about someone who is small and how a little person can change the things. It would be a paradoxe if he cares about it. But it is like he really like to be a little person and he knows that he can do different anyway.
