Buttercup:

While rereading OotP, I came up with a new idea. Maybe
it's Fawkes who's watching over Harry for Dumbledore. 
When they're in Dumbledore's office after Harry has
the vision of Mr. Weasley being attacked by a snake,
Dumbledore sends Fawkes to keep a lookout for
Umbridge.  Fawkes probably did this undercover so
Unbridge wouldn't notice, don't you think? Maybe the
bird is doing the same with Harry. Somehow he's spying
on Harry, without Harry knowing.
