I always thought that the reason Sauron was known as the Necromancer was that he created many bodies for himself after he was killed. Well, three. The first being Gortuar the cruel and Annatar (i dont know if either of those are remotly near to the real spellings). The second being Suaron the Terrible, his War-form that he marched to the Last Alliance with. And the final being the Eye that he had become. Also Gandalf says "there are only 9 fingers on the Dark Hand". I dont know if this is merely metaphorical or literal, but if Sauron did not have a form how could he wear the ring? Finally Gandalf also says "if the ring is destroyed Sauron will never again take form" suggesting that he can take form as long as it still exists.
