Sauron, devoted servant of Melkor?

if only Men are not bound by the Music of the Ainur, which is as fate to all things else (which presumably includes Maiar within Arda) how much freedom of action did Sauron have?

I was thinking about this matter a while back. Only MEN had the power to change the world to their own will even above the will of Valar, and certainly not Morgoth or Sauron.

Men learned the craft of flight, (airplanes) while Morgoth never learned to fly though he cut off the wings of Thronhoth, people of Sorontur Eagles. It is not ordained that MEN should fly, not in Iluvatar's music, but we made it. But Melkor could not, because Morgoth was one of Ainur. And Sauron would not be more stronger then his master Melkor, he who arises in might, would he?

Does that make any sense?
