Me:
Ethonal's thoughts on the significance of titles got me thinking 
about alternate  meanings of the title group:  What if the 'Order of 
the Phoenix' is not about a specific phoenix (Fawkes) but more about 
the qualities of the phoenix in general?  Perhaps it has more to do 
with rebirth, healing or some other magical properties surrounding 
the phoenix?  Maybe the members of the group posess some of these 
qualities in some form?

This is just the early sparks of a theory (that will probably die 
quickly - but what the heck)...can anyone offer some more thoughts on 
this?
