Pip was ...ummm.... overexhuberant in the early chapters. But Gandalf the people who should have been answering his questions need a great big lesson in sharing information, and also on expecting adult behavior from someone they treat as a kid.
By the time he puts that raven helmet on, I think he has a real sense of gravitas when the situation warrants it - and right from the start, no one can touch him for resiliance, or understanding family/love.
It saddens me to see (movie)Denethor trying to turn that joy against him there by making him sing. But I am proud of the way he accepts the challenge.
