Irregardless of wether or not the interview is valid(which I seem to 
remember is).....I believe there may be more of a connection between 
Fawkes and Harry rather than Harry and and DD's portrait in the 
headmaster's office.  This really does explain the "smoke phoenix" 
emitted from DD's tomb in HPB--DD's final message to Harry..(which 
even if we readers and those in the ww didn't get..it would 
certianly be one of the most positive lasting memories that dd 
had.).   I believe Harry certainly did get this message regarding  
his loyalty speech to Rufus at the end of HPB!  If Harry is still so 
loyal to DD at the end of HBP....and DD died so "willingly" at 
snape's hand...as a reader, I ladore the fact that Fawkes is out 
there on his own...waiting to fulfill DD's last order...or waiting 
to see how loyal Harry truly is to his(fawkes) last master.

All things considered...writing the last book would have been easier 
if dd was alive..or at least had the chance of still being alive...I 
have the feeling that if harry ever went in and spoke with said 
portrait that the only words DD's portrait would have to say would 
be, "Fawkes"...

DD
(who regrets that JKR could never write any sort of dialog between 
DD and Fawkes and worse yet that DD never told Harry about his 
relationship between him and Fawkes.)
