> IF Snape is DDM, then some people speculate that Fawkes
will have something to do with proving this - defending him
in a fight as he defended Dumbledore at the Ministry, for
instance. I suggested, in the post linked above, that if
Fawkes IS Snape, then this would be the way for him to get
information to Harry and the Order - who would doubt Fawkes?

Avi responds:

But then, I have a few confusions:

1. Can the hair of an Animagous be used in wands?
If it was then after all it would still be human.

2. Snape had joined Hogwarts long after LV, and if
he was Fawkes, then it was not possible for him
to be there when LV had his wand.

3. Well, you may say, that with his first rise, LV
had got a new wand. Then that means LV was not using
his original wand. If so, he is using someone else's
wand (as I remember it there was no reference to someone
being able to have a wand on behalf of another).

In GoF, as far as I remember, LV was using Pettigrew's
wand to summon Death Eaters. Was it the same wand with
which he duels with HP? Or Peter got LV's wand somehow
and he handed it to him when he rose again (this was not
clear to me in GoF).

All in all, because of these reasons I don't think Snape
is Fawkes.
