Nagging thoughts on Pheonixes & LV

I have been thinking this over and thought your brilliant minds might 
help me.

I have a few questions about the Pheonix Dumbledore has (Fawkes); the 
feathers in the 2 wands (of HP & LV), and Dumbledore in general.

1. I have a feeling there is more to the Dumbledore/Fawkes 
relationship than just owner & pet, and more than just the pheonix is 
DD's patronus....Dumbledore possesses a lot of the qualities of the 
pheonix himself. In FB&WTFT they say "the pheonix is a gentle 
creature never known to kill...& can disappear & reappear at will. 
Its song is magical and can increase the courage of the pure at heart 
& strike fear into the hearts of the impure..."
DD never seems to apperate, he doesn't make the loud noise associated 
with everyone else we know who has apperated...he simply disappears, 
&/or remains invisible. His voice seems to calm Harry, and can strike 
fear into others. 

2. "The pheonix gains a XXXX rating not because it is aggressive, but 
because very few wizards have ever succeeded in domesticating it."
Well obviously DD did domesticate one, and allowed JUST TWO (emphasis 
mine)tail feathers for wands? Why? It seems if this is a good core 
for wands, DD would allow other feathers to be used. And why TR & HP? 
That can't be a coincidence. I know the wand thing has been 
discussed, but Why FAWKES, and why only 2? JKR really emphasized this 
in having Mr. Ollivander say it...p.85 American edition "I remember 
every wand I've ever sold, Mr. Potter. Every single wand.It so 
happens that the pheonix whose tail feather is in your wand, gave 
another feather -- just one other." So...that makes the wands 
brothers, and there is that whole thing, but there has to be another 
dimension to this....
 a.) Did DD know that TR bought the first wand...became LV, and then 
heard the prophecy...knew "the one" might could benefit from a 
brother wand in bringing down LV, and therefore decided to give JUST 
ONE more feather in the thought that it might choose "the one". (make 
sense?), or...
  b.)Did Fawkes just molt/die twice in DD's lifetime, and each time 
he gave a feather? and it is nothing more than that?

3. Could DD & Fawkes be one in the same? I mean maybe DD is an 
animagus...he DID use to be the transfiguration teacher...and they 
coexist due to time-turner overlaps; to DD's great & brilliant 
stategy to keep on top of things? I like this idea because it means 
DD is in essence a never ending story. which BTW brings me to my 
overall point... ( about time you say?)

4. Maybe that's why LV didn't die at GH. I mean he studied harder 
that any other wizard of his time and knows a lot of dark magic. 
Maybe he is an animagus in the form of a Runespoor..(or a snake of 
any kind for that matter);also classification XXXX. Maybe he also 
uses time to coexist with himself and that is why he never really 
dies...he knows he exists in another form at all times.(only as feat 
for the wisest and most experienced wizards) FB& WTFT pg. 37 " It is 
common to see a runespoor with its right head missing..." 
and "...produces eggs through its mouths..." .....put a toad on top 
and you get a basilisk....anyone? sorry I strayed....back to LV...I 
think he would have had to try just about everything in 
school...being a metamorphagus, being an animagus, etc. 

I just have these nagging thoughts and think there is more than meets 
the eye about LV & DD both...and I think HP will be THE GREATEST 
WIZARD TO EVER LIVE...even surpassing the likes or both those other 
guys!    **blush** IMHO  **blush**
