The feather in Harry's wand came from the same Phoenix as the feather in Voldemort's wand. And I believe that Phoenix was Fawkes. I think Fawkes is going to continue to be meaningful in the final chapter. The wand as a horcrux is interesting, but I would think that would make a wand an incredibly fragile instrument. Horcrux's are supposed to be well protected. In Harry Potter books, expelliarmus curses are thrown around like nerf balls. Plus, Spoiler: Voldemort seemed bound and determined that each horcrux come from one of the houses of Hogwarts.

Spoiler: Dumbledore is most definitely dead, in the muggle sense. He showed up in a portrait in his old office. That doesn't mean he can't be consulted, just like the other headmasters and heads of house in their portraits. It just wouldn't make sense for a fake death. There's one book left, and in this last one Dumbledore was encouraging Harry more than ever to figure out how to do dangerous things by himself. Snape will play a part in bringing down Voldemort, but will die at the hands of Bellatrix-either by her informing on him or actually outright killing him. Lucius will die a cowardly death. Draco is still a wild card.

Another thing, and if this is a spoiler for anybody then they just aren't keeping up... In book four, when Voldemort summons his followers, all but one shows up. Voldemort says he'll deal with him later. Is that Snape? For not showing up, he seemed to arouse the wrath of Voldemort, Spoiler: but is seemingly his chosen one in book 6.
