Under the potion conservation rule, creating an Elixir of Life would require inputting some sort of immortality. Fawkes killed Narcissa to create an Elixir ingredient.
The Sorcerer’s Stone isn’t a potion. The immortality has to come from somewhere, and it’s just as likely that it’s produced by the stone as it is that it’s produced by one of the stone’s components.
Fawkes killed Bellatrix to create an Elixir ingredient.
The Dugbogs were not crushed by a strong Re’em, but by a Re’em’s strength. The strength was used to crush them, and the strength was what you got out of it.
The knuts were not forged by a hot forge, but by the forge’s heat. The heat was used to forge them, and the heat was what you got out out it.
In your scenario, the immortality of the phoenix was not used to burn the corpse, so you cannot get immortality out of it.

Edit: I’m an idiot.

I don’t know what this sentence means.
For strength, you use Dugbogs that were crushed by a strong Re’em.
For heat, you use bronze that was forged in a hot forge.
For immortality, you use a corpse that was burned by an immortal phoenix.
Speaking in terms of significance:
The Dugbogs were not crushed by a strong Re’em, but by a Re’em’s strength. The strength was used to crush them, and the strength was what you got out of it.
The knuts were not forged by a hot forge, but by the forge’s heat. The heat was used to forge them, and the heat was what you got out out it.
In your scenario, the immortality of the phoenix was not used to burn the corpse, so you cannot get immortality out of it.
K. I was confused because Bellatrix hadn’t died, mostly. Your edit helped.
