Robert:
I believe Fawkes left with DD (though I wonder if DD would have somehow instructed to Fawkes to help the order if something happened). I do also believe DD IS dead. However my thoughts lead me to believe DD will be on the wall (in picture form) in the headmaster's office. Couldn't Harry communicate with him through the picture (if Hogwarts if even open)?
