Ok, my last post was wrong (on the whole Jean Grey/Phoenix issue). I just misread some stuff and missed the very beginning. I conversed with some of my friends, and we came to what we think is the most right series of events.
While Jean was piloting the ship back to earth, and was being radiated to a puddle of goo, the Phoenix came to her and they made a deal: the two would bond rather deeply, and the Phoenix would protect Jean and so forth. In return for this, the Phoenix would get a small part of Jean Grey to use as a sort of avatar. The ride was more-or-less a success. Phoenix, placed Jean Grey in this restoration cocoon (which was later found by the Fantastic Four at the bottom of Hudson Bay), and took the form of Jean Grey.
Now, as the story goes on, Phoenix stays with the X-Men for a short time, and then goes to fight the mad emperor of the Shiar (I think their name is). Eventually, the emperor is defeated, though at the cost of a few suns--and the Shiar want Phoenix dead for making a few new novas. I believe that this is repelled.
After this little spat, Phoenix is corrupted by the Hellfire Club and becomes the Dark Phoenix. The Dark Phoenix goes around raising hell (oh, how clever!) and so on. Somehow, the little bit of Jean Grey in the Dark Phoenix manages to gain control for a short time, and commits suicide. Thus ends this part of the story.
After the Fantastic Four find Jean Grey's cocoon, she's brought back to the surface, only marginally more powerful than she was before with none of the Phoenix's powers. However, something happens involving Wolverine where Jean dies, awakening the powers of the Phoenix within her (they did bond after all), and she revives. This time, however, it isn't the Phoenix, but that she became so powerful through the bonding that she uses her own powers to mimic the Phoenix.
Later on in the story, getting most current, a Magneto imposter killed Jean Grey (Phoenix level) for good, it seems; as such, in the current X-Men mythos, Jean Grey is dead.
