Dumbledore and the big V to be gleaned from that.  For example:
 
 1. Lucius Malfoy decides to make a bid for power over V.  He concocts a 
sinister scheme to pickpocket Harry's wand using Draco, or his new house-elf, 
and then marches on Riddle House, using Harry's wand to paralyse V and his 
old one to nuke him with Avada Kedavra!
 
 2. All of the Death Eaters decide they've had enough of Snake-Man, and 
devise a plot to kidnap Fawkes.  They pin him down, strip him of feathers, 
turn 'em into wands and overthrow the big V!
 
 3. Dumbledore realises that he can guarantee the safety anyone on the wrong 
end of V's wand.  He persuades Fawkes to part with all of his remaining tail 
feathers towards the end of his next reincarnation, gets Ollivander to whip a 
few dozen wands up, and voila!  All of the anti-V fighters are armed with a 
secret, V-proof weapon!
 
 As for students staying down a year, this could be a sneaky way to introduce 
a new classmate for the Trio... a sixth year failed by Snape, perhaps.

(First post to the group. Hello and please be gentle ;))

Well, the theory about using Fawkes' feathers (either in wands or possibly 
some other way) to counter Voldemort's wand would tie in with the title of 
the fifth book (OOTP) It seems clear, at the very least, that Fawkes, through 
the wands, is a big link between Dumbledore, Voldemort, and Harry. And at 
this point I have no idea whether the "Order of the Phoenix" would refer to a 
group of good guys, bad guys, or somehow a mix of both.
