I agree - at the time she had only vague suspicions at best. But you missed my point :what did Galadriel feel when she
thought back to this time, when she recalled it - knowing already with certainty who Annatar really had been? He had duped her then and got away with it and killed more of her dear ones and prevented her from using Nenya for a half-age. Galling?

If she did have some soft spot, Sauron would have likely used, at least in the ~ 2000 years of the Second Age when he re-became active. The very success she had in overcoming the temptation of the ring points that she had a strong, positive, moral structure; anything else would have been, in my opinion, her utter downfall.

Is a desire for vengeance a soft spot? I don't think her soft, just the opposite. As for the ring, she was sorely tempted by it - more so, IMO, than Elrond had ever been, again because of her prideful natiure.
