I'll second wish #2, although I'd really push the genie for a happy ending and lots of babies.
Wish #3 is sooo right.
Yes, Nerdanel deserved to be more. The problem is she deserved to be more like Feanor, and Tolkien has a hard time writing ambiguous female characters. They have to be puure good or spiders. Galadriel is the closest to a truly ambiguous female character, and he so riuned the character by revising it.
