The Silmarrilion emphasizes the beginning of Middle-earth, the birth of the Elves, the birth of Men, and the birth of Dwarves, and al that other stuff, but it never says one word about where Hobbits originated or when.
And Sauron dies at least twice in the Silmarrilion. How so?
Don't be confusing big, even seemingly total, defeats of Sauron with his actual, genuine death. Evenm after the Ring is destroyed his essence is only permanently dispersed, not destroyed.

Why not? IT,s never stopped me LOL.
yes sauron lost his phiycal form a few times but as ush. said(typed) his spirit lives on.
as for hobbits I just don,t know
I think they just turn up. after all the dwarfs were held back so as the elves would be first born, then came the dwarfs, then men then hobbits??
Must finish the book firts. I'm only at the "beren and Luthien" chapter ( amaising ) But it would be strange not mentioning the hobbits.
About sauron's powers...he was Morgoth's closest and most powerfull servant. Morgoth makes his own ...staff, so he's responsible for all of sauron's abillities
