what bothers me most about the hobbit is that Peter changed the core of the story. in the books the dwarves are going to Erabor to reclaim the treasure that was there. its not meant to be a "noble" quest like what peter makes it into:( the reason why the lord of the rings are so good is because there are no characters that are perfectly good. according to my friend who got his facts from the lord of the rings wiki, Gandalf drove Sauron to madness by being so much better than Sauron. of course this could be completely wrong so take it with a couple pinches of salt.
Although wouldn't that be Sauron's own fault for letting Gandalf's skill bother him to that extreme?
I'm pretty sure he (Sauron) was just an Istar that sought to increase his magical abilities via dark sorcery, and ended up paying the price.
I still think of him as one of my favourite villains, even though his true form is seen only (twice?) in the films. Peter Jackson did a good job of him that's for sure.

Sauron is not an Istari. Sauron is an Ainur
