Thingol has just left Hobbiton.

I have two comments, number one it never says that Sauron lost the ability to change his form, only that he could no longer assume a fair form. Also Tolkien specifically stated that the Balrogs became bound to their bodies permanently. This probably occurred after the Battle of Powers.
