That Jean isn't from 616. Niether is the one from Here Comes Tommorrow.
Jeans body is still lying in a graveyard apparently in 616.
The one on the WHR exists out of space and time so I'd say rather then being 616 she's collectively every Jean from every reality at some times. Kind of like what Rachel and Psylocke showed in the HoM UXM issues.
And there are other White Phoenix's. Celeste from Warsong for instance.
My interpretation is that White Phoenix is a state of mind. Celeste was the only Cuckoo capable of handling the Phoenix because she was able to give herself away to it, the same way that Jean did. Emma and the other Cuckoos are too cold (See Warsong).
I have two questions that have been racking my brains for a while and one about the "near" future.1.) Where was Squirrel Girl during “World of War Hulk�
GP: Dan Slott tells me she was fighting Galactus.
HM: 2.) Why was Celeste able to act as a host for the Phoenix Force in Phoenix Warsong and Emma unable to in Phoenix Endsong? From what I understood Emma insinuated that it had something to do with herself being cold emotionally. Does that mean the host of the Phoenix Force has to be full of passion and positive emotion?
GP: In the last issue of “Warsong,†Emma tells Celeste, “I trained you so stupidly -- tried to make you cold and cynical. Because that’s how I survived. But you’re stronger than that. Stronger than me.†That might mean that Celeste’s psionic potential is actually stronger than Emma’s. Or it might imply that to host the Phoenix requires a willingness to open oneself up or give oneself away in a way that Emma couldn’t. I’ll leave it up for readers to draw their own conclusions.

I also believe that the Phoenix Force is a force and that Jean isn't the Phoenix. Jean's mutation allows her to manipulate this force just like Magneto's mutation allows him to manipulate magnetism. There are many Phoenix hosts.
