No, that still sounds lame. I'm sticking with my original answer: I don't know!
Yeah, but you'd just wrote a pretty convincing synopsis that points to the contrary...and well done, I thought.
Hmm, I've written Albus/Fawkes for Nimori's Asshatery or whatever that was. But Snape/Fawkes...I think that's one of those many permutations you alluded to.
Enjoyed your interview, and am looking forward to which interesting way you came up with to tell it!
