Why would he have borne Glaurung's hate more than anyone else? The only thing I can remember him doing to Glaurung (and I haven't read the story too recently... I can never seem to get past Tol-in-Gaurhoth anymore ) is killing him... And by then it's too late for Glaurung to hate much of anyone...

With Glaurung he alone defied him at the fall of Nargothrond. And as Durin said, Turin wore the Dragon Helm wich was in defiance of him.

But when Fingon shot at Glaurung he wasn't full grown to man/dragonhood. When Turin defied him he was at the height of his power.

Fingon still shot him.
I'd think that being shot when just a child would have some serious psychological damage. I'm surprised poor Glaurung even got over it... *reads post* *reads the last few posts* Wow. That was horribly Off Topic.
