  What leads me to believe this is that he is loyal to all who defend
Dumbledore.  Kind of like "friend of my friend" type of thing.

Kellie:

This is my first post and I've finally found time, on a quiet Friday
evening, to respond to something that has been lurking in the recess of my
mind.

I see Fawkes as an extraordinary and loyal companion to DD. He's saved DD's
life (swallowing the AK curse in Book 5) and helping DD out in a pinch
(allowing DD to apparate while still within Hogwarts' walls.) Their
closeness is comparable to LV's closeness to Nagini. There's a reliance, a
dependence almost, on these magical creatures that no human could match.

>From the beginning, Fawkes is deeply connected to Harry and LV, having given
his tail feathers to both Harry and LV's wands. The fact that Fawkes was NOT
around when Snape performed the AK curse in Book 6 speaks volumes to
me....He didn't "save" DD, because DD didn't need saving :)

Last but not least, Fawkes pecking the Basilisk's eyes seems to foreshadow
the destruction of Nagini. I predict that Fawkes will destroy Nagini (the
last horcrux?) which would allow Harry to ultimately defeat LV.

But these are just the ramblings from a tired mother who rarely has time to
read even the back of a cereal box....

Peace,
Kellie in Phoenix
