Geoff:
That was never my intent. I hoped that I had structured the sentence to make that clear. My 
meaning was that Sauron is far more evil because he is a fallen angel. He is, as I have pointed 
out in other posts, an immortal, being a Maia -  which the wizards were also.

Voldemort is quite definitely human despite delusions of grandeur about being immortal.
