Phoenix colors, Ginny, burning PoA question

No: HPFGUIDX 25210

Okay, picking up from the Chapter 11/12 thread it was asked if the 
phoenix's colors (red and gold) were significant. I'm sure I'm not 
the only X-Men fan on the list, so I'd guess I'm not the only person 
who assumed all phoenixes were red/gold. For the non-x-men (or non-
obsessive-x-men) fans out there - two characters were influenced by a 
cosmic entity known as the Phoenix Force and used the 
codename "Phoenix". The Phoenix Force itself always showed up as 
orange/gold, as Phoenix, Jean Grey wore a red/yellow(gold) costume 
and Rachel Summers wore red leather.

Regarding discussions on Ginny acting her age - if we are assuming 
that Harry was born in 1980, then I am the same age as Ginny (both 
born in 1981). I don't think of her as acting especially childish - I 
know I still had tantrums and cried at age 15! As Mary Ann said, 
crying is a good way of attracting attention, and as one of 7 
children I guess she'd have wanted that.

We also know that Sirius spent some time talking to Dumbledore before 
his escape. Isn't it possible that once convinced of Sirius' 
innocence D broached the subject? Or maybe sent him an owl suggesting 
it after his escape?
