Once again, no offense taken! I am quite the joker myself  :3

Agreed, the Hobbit book came out at least 80 years before the thought of Zalphar. In the book, Radagast had but only two or three lines (from what I recall). Other than that, he is rarely mentioned; no character development. In 2012 when the Hobbit movie was released, Jackson had unearthed, researched, and compiled the remaining of Tolken's writings of Middle Earth. As a result, he created his interpretation the character Radagast; the one we know today. That being said, Zalphar was never influenced by Jackon's interpretations since this character was made years before the movie was released; just throwing that out there  ;)
