>Considering JKR's use of meaningful names (Voldemort, Draco, Narcissa, 
>etc.), will Fawkes become a traitor like his namesake?

In the first place, we don't necessarily know that Narcissa's name is 
meaningful with respect to her character.  We've seen her a grand total of 
once, and never heard her speak.  For all we know, she's a complete 
sweetheart who has no idea that her husband is a Death Eater.  (Okay, I 
don't think it's very likely, but it's possible she's cowed by Lucius' 
overbearing manner.  Look how quickly Draco's sneer disappears when Harry 
mentions his mother; game's over, you better not say anything about his mum, 
them's fighting words, etc.)

Anyway, though, Fawkes' connection to his namesake, I believe, is the 
bursting-into-flames bit.  That's plenty, in my view.  :-D
