Here are some questions that have been bothering me:-
1) Why is the Order of the Phoenix known as the Order of 
the "Phoenix" ? Unless I have missed something while reading the book, JKR does not give any specific reasons as to why the Order is named as it it. She merely describes it as a secrect group formed to fight LV and the DEs.

On p. 470 of the American text Dumbledore uses Fawkes as a signal (I'm presuming to the other members of the Order.)  This occurs right after Harry explains to DD that Arthur was attacked by the snake and before he (DD) uses the silver instrument with the puffs of smoke.
 
"Dumbledore was now stroking Fawkes's plumed golden head with one finger.  The phoenisx awoke immediately.  He stretched his beautiful head high and observed Dumbledore through bright dark eyes.
 
"'We will need,' said Dumbledore very quietly to the bird, 'a warning.'
 
"There was a flash of fire and the phoenix had gone."
 
I would imagine the order is named after it's unique signal.
