Susan:
> I wondered if the phoenix being a bird was like a rooster whose 
sound is fatal to a basilisk?  I say *like* because Fawkes was singing 
the moment he entered the chamber and that is not what killed the 
basilisk.  I think maybe it mesmerized him? >>>

What if Fawkes was attacking from above and not in direct eye 
contact?
