Whither Fawkes?

I haven't seen Fawkes mentioned here, so I am wondering if 
I am the only one who expected Fawkes to reappear in DH?

I do realize Fawkes flew away in HBP, and that he belonged
to Dumbledore. But while Dumbledore is dead in DH, his work
is not done. I really thought Fawkes might return to play a
part in helping complete Dumbledore's nearly two decades long
task of ridding the WW of Voldemort by attaching himself to 
Harry, or even to Snape. I even hoped if he attached himself
to Harry, then after the final battle he might hang around
and become Harry's rumored "new pet" (using the term "pet"
loosely, as I don't think Fawkes was anyone's pet).

So, anyone else have expectations about Fawkes' role in DH?
