That was my first thought the minute I read that in the chat -- that 
Fawkes would choose to go to Harry when Dumbledore dies.  In the post 
previous to this one, Jazmyn suggests that Fawkes might just switch 
owners, and leave a living Dumbledore to go to Harry.  I see this as 
very unlikely; after all, one of the characteristics of phoenixes is 
that they are extremely loyal.

I always sort of hoped that Harry would meet up with that snake from 
the zoo that he first talked to.  After all, I'm probably not alone in 
being disappointed that Harry uses his Parsletongue so seldom, and I 
like snakes.  Suppose the snake had trouble getting off the island -- 
hey, it could happen.  And then imagine the Dursleys' reactions when 
he brought *that* home and then started speaking to it! :-D
