I think that the awesome thing about Bombadil is that he simply IS, if that makes any change. It's like trying to give a backstory to the Joker - it would ruin him, and it would feel rather unnatural to find out more about him since the mystery surrounding the character is a very important part of that character.

And after all, unanswered questions are remembered longer than answers in a story, IMO.
