Gandalf had his suspicions that Sauron would return, but the Lord of the Rings' White Council didn't listen to him for their own reasons.
Despite Gandalf visiting Dol Guldur and encountering The Necromancer in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, there were still a few reasons why the White Council didn’t listen to him about Sauron’s return, even if it made them appear naive to fans. At the time, Saruman was the only other wizard/Istari in Lord of the Rings on the White Council with Gandalf, and led other powerful members like Elrond and Galadriel and convened to discuss important matters in Middle-earth.
Saruman Had Already Decided He Wanted The Ring Himself What Gandalf didn’t know at the time he warned the White Council about The Necromancer was that Saruman had already started to be corrupted by the power of the One Ring and couldn’t be trusted. Saruman wanted the ring for himself, and he wanted to spend time searching for it in other areas, not waste time exploring Dol Guldur for a possibly resurrected Sauron.
Most Lord Of The Rings Characters Believed Sauron Was Defeated Even if Saruman had other thoughts on the matter he kept them to himself, and the other members of the White Council believed Sauron to be dead after Isildur cut him down in battle. His evil hadn’t been felt for an Age, and whatever was happening in Dol Guldur was attributed to a Nazgul or some other malevolent being beside the Dark Lord, which was ideal for him.
