Mike:
Okay so here we go.  You make an extremely good point.  It is true 
that there are amazing similarities in the two.  But and here is 
where I will be disagreeing with you -- in book 5 when Sirius died 
didn't Harry inherit the house from a magical will and in doing so 
he inherited all that was in it including the house elf that hated 
Harry.  Thus the hat, the sword, and Fawkes could have been passed 
to Big D in that way.  Also in book 2 Fawkes came to Harry just 
because of how faithful he was to Big D.  I think that the Hat and 
Sword were the same: I don't believe that Fawkes could have brought 
them without the items consenting.  I don't think Big D is Godric 
though it is entirely possible that he is related.  That is the 
reason for the similarities in appearance.  It is also possible that 
the White phoenix that Harry saw was Big D just in a different from 
and that he is now a phoenix.  Instead of dying he was transformed 
just as Godric may have well been and he is Fawkes.  

Next your theory on why Hagrid fetched Harry, well that is very 
easy.  One, the person needn't blend in with the muggles since the 
Dursleys went to someplace secluded.  Next Big D knew that they 
wouldn't let Harry go very easily and that none of the teachers 
would use magic on muggles for fear of the ministry.  Hagrid however 
didn't care about that since he never graduated from wizarding school 
in the first place.  Also he was much more ferocious looking and Big 
D knew he would have the least trouble getting Harry.

And if Big D were Godric then why is Godric not one of his names?  
B/c if what you say were true then would it not make sense that all 
of Big D's names were his past identities?  Also if he were Godric 
why would he not want people to know? I mean don't you think that 
Lord V would be a little scared going up against one of the most 
powerful wizards of all time?  

Now I have a question for you:  if indeed Big D is Godric then where 
are the other three founding wizards?  If one of them were immortal 
then would it not make sense that the others were as well, and if so 
then who could they be?
