Alla:

I thought JKR said that Fawkes was Dumbledore's property, not 
school's. I mean he can left Fawkes with Minerva, yes, but for some 
reason I think that if he left it with somebody, it will be Harry 
indeed as others remarked.

Of course more likely IMO is that Fawkes will choose whom to stay 
with, IMO

Alla:

Precisely - it is as if Vow just fallen down from the sky on poor 
Snape and he and Dumbledore are left with no choice but to deal with 
it, well Snape may have no choice after what he chose (IMO), but 
Dumbledore?

Alla:

Maybe confronting Draco, regardless of whether this would trigger UV 
or not.  Hogwarts students should not be held responsible for Snape 
making a choice of taking UV (since I think that Snape and only Snape 
is responsible for taking UV in the first place) .
