Fawkes helped Albus Dumbledore throughout his years and Fawkes also helped Harry Potter resolve the mysteries and troubles caused by the Chamber of Secrets.
The core of Harry Potter’s wand was actually the feather of Dumbledore’s phoenix Fawkes. Fawkes only offered tow feathers during his life which happened to become the two cores for the wands of Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort.
As hard it was to tame a phoenix, the wands of a phoenix core were also very independent and very selective in choosing and obeying their master. Even Albus Dumbledore was astonished when Fawkes helped Harry Potter in the Chamber of Secrets.

By this time, only Professor Albus Dumbledore was aware of Tom Riddle’s intentions. Although Armando Dippet immediately expelled Rubeus Hagrid and awarded a special recognition award to Tom Riddle, by Albus Dumbledore’s request, Hagrid was kept and trained as the gamekeeper of Hogwarts.
Phineas Nigellus Black – Predecessor of Armando Dippet
All of the headmasters of Hogwarts had a portrait in the headmaster’s office. Phinease Nigellus Black was the headmaster of Hogwarts even before Armando Dippet.
Phineas Nigellus Black and the Black family were one of the fanatic pure-blood families that claimed pure-blood supremacy.
He was infamous for being stubborn, and keen among the students and faculty members of Hogwarts.
Although he claimed pure-blood supremacy, Phienas Nigellus Black didn’t necessarily mistreat each individual although he would often insult half-bloods or muggle borns as a whole often referring them as mud bloods. Interestingly, he also disagreed with the ideas of Lord Voldemort.
Cornelius Oswald Fudge – Minster for the British Ministry of Magic
Corenlius Fudge was the 32nd Minister for the British Ministry of Magic. He often consulted with Albus Dumbledore over matters and as the British Ministry of Magic was also ultimately responsible for Hogwarts, he would discuss such matters with headmaster Dumbledore as well.

Professor Severus Snape casts the disarming charm Expelliarmus against Gilderoy Lockhart which knocked Gidleroy Lockhart to the floor that was unusual regarding the fame of Gilderoy Lockhart’s heroic adventures.
Harry Potter despite his negative impression of Snape was fascinated by the elegance of Snape casting the Expelliarmus charm as it didn’t necessarily harm the opponent but effectively only disarmed the opponent.
Harry Potter’s first encounter of Expelliarmus by Snape inspired him to use expelliarmus as his signature spell and his first choice of using offensive magic spells.
