That the trolls didn't reveal the past to Anna when she visited them always strikes me as odd. They're definitely playing for their own interests.

I've had the trolls pegged as evil since the first viewing for one specific reason: "Only an act of true love can thaw a frozen heart".

That was what sent Anna off to find Hans, but also the key for Elsa.

Love is at the heart of her control of her powers, not fear. The trolls knew, but instead of teaching her this and helping her learn how to control her powers, they taught her to fear them.

And for that matter, why didn't Kristoff ever tell her that he'd seen her as a child and that she'd gone to the trolls before.

Kristoff is brainwashed. Remember when he saw the trolls and the royal family? A troll show up beside Kristoff and said "Cuties! I'm gonna keep you!" (That's the weirdest line, I've ever heard in that movie). After that, the troll do its magic brainwash to Kristoff. The trolls motive is to keep their power in secret.

And Kristoff is just a kid, it is possible that his father is one of the iceman(the opening scene cutting ice).

I did think it was weird that they abruptly adopted him. He didn't seem like an orphan.

In Disney movies, that's easily remedied.
