I'd say Snape did.  I get the impression that AD got the staff he wanted
together and told them that he needed to protect the Stone and wanted a
magical obstacle from each of them then left them to get on with it.  I
think it's a bit of a disrespect to Snape to say that because it's
well-written AD must have done it, when it's simply not in AD's nature to
interfere like that.  Dumbledore is simply not the type to rush in and do
things for anyone else because he thinks they might cock it up - he's the
kind who'll trust people to get it right and if they don't, to learn from
any mistakes they make.

No, I think we have the twisted but oh so talented mind of Severus Snape to
thank for that.  :)
