I was about to post a theory which you may have disrupted by 
reminding me that Fawkes gave a feather to Voldemort's wand (which he 
did, by the way - I think Dumbledore tells Harry that).  But maybe it 
can be reconciled after all.

Here's my question: if a person is an Animagus, and his Animagus form 
is a phoenix, if he were to remain in phoenix form, could he live 
forever?

Apologies if anyone has posted this before (I did look) but - What if 
Fawkes *is* Godric Gryffindor?  Only he can't transform back into 
human form, because as a human he's way too old even for wizards and 
would probably die immediately.  But by staying a phoenix he can keep 
watch on things and intervene when needed.  

So, while it is hard to see why Voldemort would have Gryffindor's 
feather in his wand, if he did have it that would probably be one big 
weakness against Harry.  If Harry is the heir of Gryffindor (which I 
think he is), and Fawkes keeps showing up for Harry's big battles 
with evil (and maybe brings Gryffindor's sword again), then I could 
see Voldemort's wand not working very well against Harry.

PS - I also think Gryffindor is the HBP.  I think one big piece of 
information we are missing, which would have been logically relevant 
to CoS, is what Harry's connection with Gryffindor really is.
