I don't think that the sing-off between a pre-ring Sauron and Galadriel's older (and not lesser) brother Finrod Felagund has been mentioned. With the outcome of that in mind I believe that had Sauron come to Lórien in person, Galadriel would lack the strength to withstand him, with or without his ring. Then again, at Tol-in-Gaurhoth Sauron was still not humbled by having had his physical shape destroyed and could be assumed to have been stronger than his recently re-assembled 3rd age self. Yet I would think he was a notch above Galadriel in the ME power hierarchy. Now as for Sauron and his forces , that is an entirely different question, isn't it? Which forces are we talking about now?
