Dally here:
So, based on the memory in COS, Fawkes may not come with the 
specific office, but with the position of Headmaster. In the 
previously quoted essay by Phyllis D. Morris, she asks "If we accept 
the premise that Fawkes was once Gryffindor's phoenix, it raises the 
interesting question of who might have owned Fawkes between the time 
of Gryffindor's death and when Dumbledore assumed responsibility for 
him." Morris then speculates that Fawkes may have been cared for by 
the Druidess Cliodna. 

I just wanted to clear up what I meant when I said "According to the 
Lexicon" in my original post. Morris doesn't have exact page number 
references to support her theories, but they sound fairly reasonable 
to me.
