Re: Aragorn's age. I don't have my copy handy to check, but (having reread recently) I seem to recall that either Celeborn or Galadriel mentions, when the followship reaches Lothlorien after Moria, that it has been "three and eighty" years since Aragorn first came to Lothlorien. One more clue to throw into the puzzle.

According to the appendix, Aragorn was born on March 1, 2931. Bilbo's party takes place in September 3001, making Aragorn 70. 17 years later would make him 87 at the time of the War of the Ring.
