I don't think Tolkien would have made Sauron's dying spirit reach out (with it's hand) towards the lords of the west, unless he had some shape. Maybe when he came back as an eye, he grew back his body around it. I actually sketched a pic a while back of him as the necromancer. He is everything they described him as, but also shaped alike to Tolkien's watercolor (One of the various RotK covers) but anyway, he is faded and looks really ticked about missing a finger. I being a stickler for details, actually gave him pointy ears, sharp teeth and a horrendous scar on his throat. I draw Sauron all the time, Youthful Thu, Dark Lord, the Eye with no form around it, all his various forms. But I do think he had a form, it was pretty much obvious from Gollum's statement.
