I have read numerous accounts here that reiterate DDs claim that
Hogwarts provides protection for those who are within its walls.
Codswallop, I say.
Sure there are some protections but hey, LV lived there in a turban
and a book. Death Eaters visit. (Malfoy, the Executioner,Karkarov...)
The Azkaban guards swarmed a school function and attacked Harry right
on the grounds by the lake.
Looks to me to be the most dangerous place on Earth one could be,
especially while Harry and DD are there.
And don't be too sure about that anti-apparition thing. Remember the
ship coming out of the lake? Maybe not apparition per se but pretty close.
And the Chamber of Secrets, a special place for the heir of Slytherin,
is under the lake with a nice handy tunnel right into a Hogwarts
toilet. Should be a simple matter for LV to apparate there.
There has never been any mention of DD destroying the Chamber or
access to it and I find that ominous.
When LV decides Snape has to go the Castle's protection will be like mist.

It was I who postulated that the Mirror of Erised may have been hidden
in the Room of Requirement, possibly also before DD deduced the rooms
unique abilities, back in post #86320.
It was my very first post to a forum and now one of you has accounted me
"brilliant and deserving of a pat on the back" in post #86470
Guess I will have to retire now while I am ahead because there is no
way I can live up to that!
Thank you very much for the warmest of welcomes.
Seriously, it is just a guess that seems to fit the facts but if
someone can disprove it with canon I will be happy to concede the point.
