I agree with Nerdie55's opinion that Fawkes could have belonged to
Godric Gryffindor. (If Dumbledore is related to Gryffindor, that
could be how the phoenix came to belong to him).
I also agree that Fawkes could know where another possible artifact
belonging to Gryffindor could be, if the sword isn't the only one
left.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Harry use the fang of the
Basilisk to destroy the diary?
