Out there theory about Dumbledore and the phoenix

Hope I'm not going over old ground with this but I've searched and 
can't find anything on the subject. I've been reading the posts on 
Ron=Dumbledore and Percy=Dumbledore by going back in time and 
wondered if there might be any tie-in with Dumbledore sharing the 
characteristics of the Phoenix. 

Dumbledore is said to be looking tired and old as the Phoenix does 
before it regenerates, his originally red hair echoes the colours of 
the bird and in Chamber of Secrets Dumbledore is represented by the 
phoenix in the battle against the basilisk. 

Could these, and other instances, be pointers to Dumbledore's 
regeneration and 'circular life' by one of the Weasley brothers going 
back in time to be Dumbledore. Or possibly some other sort of 
immortality for him.

Biggest problem I can see with Ron=Dumbledore theory is that if he 
knew what would happen in advance he could have done more to warn 
Harry of the dangers facing him, although I suppose he would also 
have known that things would turn out ok.

I get very frustrated with the lack of communication between all the 
characters, however I guess if they all sat down and had a good chat 
then the books would be alot shorter.
