I'm with the "has wings" side of the Balrog issue. The wings are part of it's menacing form like described in the books. I have doubts if these wings were meant for flight though. They can still serve a purpose for threat and intimidation factors, much like a puffer fish gets all big and puffy when threatened. Did I just compare a Balrog with a puffer fish?

If I were a Balrog that could fly, I would have left those stinkin Dwarf ruins and the weak puny orcs behind along time ago.
