Guy Fawkes day

I'm new here, so I don't know if this has been discussed before, but 
the connection of Fawkes the phoenix and Guy Fawkes is one that has 
troubled me for some time. The bonfire similarity to the phoenix 
rising from the ashes seems pretty clear - the troubling part is that 
Guy Fawkes was a traitor.

Has anyone deconstructed this? I guess I just want reassurance that 
Fawkes and Dumbledore are not traitors - it's the one thing that 
would ruin the whole series for me.

I'm enjoying reading everyone's thoughts and will try not to be so 
shy in future. :)
