Well, they should. On the other hand... if you ask a thing, like, that they had blue eyes, maybe it will do... I think you should specify it, at least, that it may be a thing they may have in common with even someone else, so that someone does not dismiss it... asking what do Bilbo and Sauron have in common, people would generally assume you mean something else than that they wore the One Ring, unless you included also Gollum, Isildur, Frodo and Sam etc.
