The look on Gandalf's face when Saruman came in was a thing of beauty. I also loved how they had him wittering on self-importantly while Gandalf got things done in his head because that was exactly how I imagined they would be.
I thought he'd already been semi-corrupted by that point, anyway, and that was why he was like 'Necromancer? Are you high? I know Radagast is...'
And...you're a bad influence on me. Or a good one. I'm not sure. I read your comment and, having not thought about Thranduil at all in regards to this theory, wrote this fic (http://hikarievandar.livejournal.com/30067.html) which explains my thoughts pretty much exactly.
Though, I had it in my head that he was a bit too young to get involved in all of that and it was mostly Oropher who dealt with the Noldor before he went "fuck you guys, I'm going to take my kid and live in the woods" after Doriath was destroyed. I could be entirely wrong about that though, but who knows? I don't remember if Thranduil was ever mentioned in The Silmarillion by name.
