So you're saying that Tolkien hated his characters, as he put many of them through unfortunate situations and/or killed them off? Not only that, but he set the character of Lomion as the only elf who aided Morgoth.

Not only that, but Eol was imprisoned too, and then they captured his son, thousands of years later.

And speaking of possessions, I doubt Morgoth would have possessed Lalaith. She was a child, and thus she was of no use to him. But guess who was? Someone who entered his service willingly. Someone with the charisma and wit needed to sway people and convince them to lower their defenses.
