Phoenix":

to Prof. Snape for capturing Sirius. Thus, the Order of the Phoenix 
must be a lesser award...but an award all the same. And I have a 
feeling Harry will be the recipient of this award, to be terribly 
cliche.

> 2) Fawkes is grossly underestimated. He has a bigger role in these 
books than most people see. He is the core of both Harry and our 
favorite Dark Lord's wands, and can heal people. Fawkes may not even 
be the pet of Dumbledore...but rather be protected by him. And, well, 
the meaning of a phoenix helps my point. A phoenix is a bird that 
lived in Egypt's desert for 500 years, and then consumed itself in 
flames to be born again from its ashes. A phoenix can also be a 
paragon or a person of perfection.

sort of award too. Although it could also be a name of a group, like 
the "old crowd." 
I want a Fawkes! He sounds so cool and beautiful.
