I think the Dementors have a monopoly on that particular position. 
Sort of like the lines from Tom Lehrer's song about Werner Von Braun

Don't say that he's hypocritical
Say rather that he's apolitical
"Wunz ze rockets are up, who cares vere ze come down?
Zat's not my department!" says Werner Von Braun.

Fawkes has hitherto been identified with beauty and glory at its 
purest level.  Fawkes is truly as innocent as a dove and as wise as a 
serpent.   How could he associate with a faction neither good or 
evil? Such moral relativism receives no hearing in JKR's narrative. 
My own particular theory is that Fawkes is going to cement 
the "stealth" Christian iconography of the HP series, as the Holy 
Spirit symbol allied with the Father and Son (i.e, Dumbledore and 
Harry).
