''Why would a balrog live under a mountain? I guess he got trapped there and when he was awoken he could not find a way out. Maybe wings maybe not... :)''

The Balrog did not get trapped under a mountain, he fled there from the destruction of Thangorodrim.

Or they are like penguins, with wings but can not fly.
What would be the point of that?

Eh, I don't know? :) There should be a point? ;)

I don't suppose there needs to be a point.

Some of believe that any Balrog with any wings would look strange (unless they were mere illusions...).

True. I'm not sure that any Balrog had actual, physical wings in Tolkien's final conception of them. However, in his later days, Tolkien also decided that there were ever only a few Balrogs in total.
