<< 1) the title of book 5-the Order of the Phoenix; 2) the Egypt-Phoenix 
connection; 3)Phoenix-Egyptian symbol of immortality; 4) references to 
ancient Egyptian wizards in PoA; 5) Voldemort's obsession with 
immortality/desire to rule Europe. And also, Bill Weasley is already in 
Egypt-could he be considered a "special fan" of Harry's?  Up to book 4, we 
had never met Bill Weasley-now suddenly, here he is-coincidence?  IMO, I just 
do not think so. >>

Add another connection. Through Bill the Weasley family has any number of 
Egyptian contacts and resources. The family trip in the summer before PoA 
wasn't the first time Egypt was mentioned in the series. Wasn't the reason 
Ron (and his brothers) stayed at Hogwarts in PS/SS over winter break because 
the older Weasleys (and Ginny?) were off to Egypt to visit Bill? I would not 
be at all surprised to hear that there is a whole magical community tucked 
away a la Diagon Alley in Cairo or Alexandria. (And just maybe calls itself 
the Order of the Phoenix?)
