Where is Fawkes right now? Is he part of Dumbledore and is trapped with him?
I suspect he's gone. Remember when Dumbledore told Harry about phoenixes? Those who get a chance, get one chance. From then on it's their own phoenix and it can never be given to someone else. Mybe he died, maybe he left for wherever phoenixes come from.
In canon he just flies away after Dumbledore dies, after doing a sort of lament.
Of course, Dumbledore is explicitly not dead. Though it would probably be easier to bring him back if he were (aside from issues of consent).
