Although I agree that DD's Patronus is probably a Phoenix (I also see
a stong Phoenix/Gryffindor or Fawkes/Gryffindor connection), I don't
recall the silvery light that shot from DD's wand as he summoned
Hagrid being Phoenix-shaped. (I could be wrong here; if you have the
quote handy, by all means supply it.) I did wonder, though, when I
read that passage, what kind of spell DD could be casting since it
didn't have any connection with Dementors and was definitely not a
Patronus.<

GOF, Pg 560, US version in the chapter of The Madness of Mr. Crouch.

He raised his wand into the air and pointed it in the direction of Hagrid's 
cabin. Harry saw something silvery dart out of it and streak away through the 
trees like a ghostly bird.


I thought that since the Order was the Order of the Phoenix it was a phoenix 
that Dumbledore sent to summon Hagrid. Also, since COS, Dumbledore and Fawkes 
seem very close, and when Dumbledore says to Harry that you must have shown me 
loyalty that called Fawkes into the Chamber. Then Fawkes In OOTP both takes 
Dumbledore out of harm and takes an AK for him.
