Sauron was a Maia, that is a sort of semi-Vala (so is Gandalf, Saruman, Melian, etc etc). He happened to be a quite powerful one that Morgoth corrupted to his service, and is still governed by the will of Morgoth that lingered when the Valar cast him into the Void. For a long time he could change shape, like in 'Of Beren and Luthien' in the Silm, he becomes a wolf.
I think that's right, anyway [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
