It wouldn't have to be a hole per say, rather another
parameter preprogrammed in; a sort of emergency
procedure. It may be something similar to the Secret
Keeper spell; all the enchantments have a condition
that in case of an emergency Dumbledore alone would be
able to get through but no one else would know about
it and there would be no way to find out unless Albus
told them. He would be smart enough to cover all of
his bases. Besides, Harry even commented that he
thinks Dumbledore wanted him to go through the tasks
and save the stone. It is possible that the main
purpose of the enchantments was to give the Trio
experience and a chance to prove themselves. Rather
curious that each of the rooms required a skill that
one of  the Trio posessed...I know, I know, all the
enchantments were done around the same time Harry came
to Hogwarts, so how could Dumbledore have known. Well
my answer is that he almost always seems to always
know what will happen. Perhaps he has a limited sight
into the future, I don't know. Then again, having
known James he might have merely guessed that Harry
would be like his father.
