If someone has already made this post, please forgive me! 
I was rereading (for about the 8400th time!) the final chapters of 
GoF last night when I noticed that JKR describes Fawkes as a beatiful 
scarlet and gold bird.  Interesting that these are the colors of 
Gryffindor!!  I was also reading the archive of a chat that JKR gave 
on 10/16/00 where she described Bonfire night as a night (Nov. 5) 
where they burn a man named Guy Fawkes in effigy because he was the 
ringleader in a plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament.  I thought 
this was interesting, because JKR specifically noted that there was a 
HP connection.  Perhaps I am reading into things too much, but I 
thought I might see if anyone else had any ideas on this!
Thanks-I enjoy reading everyone's posts.
