 Given my current mad passion for alchemical research, I'm heeling to 
this interpretation myself these days. The Phoenix is one of the 
primary (possibly the most eminent) alchemical symbols for 
immortality, perfection, and power -- those are also Voldemort's holy 
trinity of obsessive goals. 

 Quick question for canon researchers: given that Voldemort was 
pretty much on-site during a whole school year of teaching Harry 
DADA, do we have any reason to doubt he knows that Harry's Fawkes-
butt wand is so uniquely similar to his own Fawkes-butt wand?

she gets fired up about some new wild thornberry regarding Blood
