What happens if he loses Hedwig and Fawkes changes masters.  Fawkes is
immortal after all and Dumbledore is getting very old.. Being Fawkes is
a more 'magical' familiar then most, perhaps HE decides when he will
change masters and not the master?  People with fickle cats will
understand this, as cats sometimes 'change owners' and don't care a wit
what the old owner or sometimes the new one, thinks of this.. I
'inherited' a cat in this fashion, who just decided 'I' was the one..
and I lost another cat to another owner who decided he didn't like me. 
If cats can pull this, then certainly a magical, immortal creature can
be this way..

Though I cannot see Fawkes carrying mail... For several reasons, least
of all he would be 'above' that sort of thing.
