Gollum self justified murdering Deagol after the fact. Bilbo spends the rest of his corrupted days blaming Lobelia. Bagginses! Sackville Bagginses! We hates them! We hates them forever! They stole it from us! Our precious....spoons.

Lobelia is even seen as a folk hero by the people of Hobbiton after the scouring of the shire because she literally spat in Sarumans face.

I never thought of it this way, but it all fits. Lobelia did nothing wrong, Bilbo was influenced by the ring.

No crushing here either.

Exactly! You can see that even Frodo and the boys, the ones most corrupted by Bilbo's indoctrination, admire her courage. Frodo even gives her Bag-End at last, probably after he found out about what really happened. And while Lobelia was seen as a hero, Bilbo was literally the most controversial Hobbit of his time!
