I say that cutting off the finger somehow maimed Sauron's fea as well. If he made a new body from scratch, what's a finger? If he was using his old body, how did he get it to Dol Guldur from Mordor where the Battle of the Last Alliance occured?


Well, possibly, in Dol Guldur he still didn't have his body yet; it was just his spirit that was "taking shape" in a metaphorical sense - not just a whisp of smoke floating around, but something with a definite goal/purpose/characteristics/etc.

EDIT: or maybe he formed his new body in the image of his old body... he could not appear in any other appearace, as I recall. But that still doesn't explain the finger.
