Anne says:
It's an interesting idea--quite appealing to the imagination--but I don't think Snape can 
be Fawkes.  If we believe Dumbledore's statement that Fawkes gave only two tail feathers 
to Ollivander wands, and that those wands now belong to Voldemort and Harry, then it 
follows that Fawkes is much older than Snape.  Voldemort started Hogwarts in 1938, 
according to the Lexicon, and Snape (also according to the Lexicon) wasn't born until 
1960.  That said, the proponents of the Snape/Fawkes theory probably have some great 
reasoning that will defy my logic.  :)
