Snape a phoenix? Come again?
I find this hard to believe. Are you saying that Potter wouldn't have noticed (on Marauder's Map) that Snape is spending A LOT of time in DD's office? Just like he noticed Peter Pettigrew?
And not to mention the whole dying-rebirth cycle! It's kind of hard for a human to pull it off you know...given he only gets to live once. Even if it's Snapey baby we're talking about!

And I'm sure there must be at least one scene in all 6 books putting Snape and Fawkes in the same room at the same time.
But even if there isn't it's still so far-fetched I'm not falling for it.

You're actually saying that Voldie and Potter's wands' core came from Snape feather???!

I've searched, never have they been together, which is what led me to pulling this out of the dark.

And yeah, I think it would be ironic about the feathers.

You think that's more than just a coincidence... *shrugs*
I don't know...well I never thought about it before I read your post here.
I mean Fawkes is spending an awful lot of time in DD's office, and Snape's got to be all over the places..in the classes teaching...strolling up and down the corridors giving students detentions and taking away house points...lol...he's a busy guy...and he can't be in two places at the same time...so he would have to spend a lot of his time running since apparition isn't possible inside the Hogwarts.
Seems almost impossible to me...

Quick Correction: We Have Seen Fawkes Apparate Within Hogwarts. He's given warnings to Dumbledore.

Oh but I wasn't talking about Fawkes (I know he can apparate despite the restrictions, just like house-elves can), I was talking about humans not being able to do so, in this case one human in particular- Snape. You wouldn't expect Snape to have phoenix's magical characteristics while he's in human form?

IMO whole this Snape_is_a_phoenix theory is on shaky grounds. *shrugs*

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see in the final book that (somehow) Snape actually is Fawkes...but I just don't see HOW can an animagus have such an extremely magical animal form! What about life cycles? Please tell me how would that one that work?

I've thought much about it and decided to leave that to JKR. I admit, it would have to be a pretty convincing story.

dumbledore did mention a hiding place for malfoy....if he knew about it chances are so does snape. He isnt totally evil, he's just playing both sides of the fence....at least i hope so....

It seems to me though that if he had totally jumped on the evil train dumbledore would have known it and wouldnt have let him be at hogwarts any longer where he was close to harry.

Oh and I just realized that it's impossible because according to your theory Snape gave Voldie his feather's but we know for a fact that that isn't true because Snape wasn't even born when Voldemort was buying his wand. Also, it would be impossible to 'jump in' to the life cycles of a Phoenix and other magical animals.

I see you point, on your behalf, but I would like to point out one thing.

Nothing is impossible in the realm of Harry Potter.

J.K. Rowling has created her own world. If she wanted to write it out this way, she could.

no way snape is fawkes, since fawkes disapperared at Dumbldore's funeral, and Snape came back in the last book... Hehe little late to think of that, and I know everyone knows it already, but I thought I should add it anyway. Hope you don't mind.

^^

I must say i love this interpretation and you have really made me think about it as the evidece you have given is very convincing PLUS it would be totally awsome if snape was fawkes

i don't know why Dumbledore trusts him because he is a death eater.

This is such an interesting theory... and there's some good evidence, but also still a lot of holes. I'm re-reading the series right now, so I'll definitely be keeping my eyes open for evidence one way or the other and post if I learn anything.

I am seeing and agreeing with Snape saving Harry's life 4 times in the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 6th book.

However I think it was more so Snape returning to the dark lord, so he could continue to be there for protecting Harry. Stunning Barty Crouch, was being done by others, not just Snape.

I do not agree that Snape is Fawks. He perhaps had followed Harry and Ron to the bathroom and called on Dumbledore for help, but I don't believe he was the phoenix.

I'm not sure about 5 either. It may be possible, that he was there, invisible. But I think it was DD keeping him protected by animating the statues.
