In that building of the MoM work several hundred people. Most of them 
use flu, as we saw, but many, like Arthur, probably prefer apparating 
since it is much more confortable than flu. Thus, there is no point to 
put anti-apparition charms in the building. The department of mysteries 
should have been more protected, yes, but the DEs have been breaking 
the defenses all year. And yes, I believe the DEs cleaned the way 
before the DA arrived so Harry *did* get to the Prophecy, which was the 
whole point, after all.

Probably Slytherin, since all the other houses were devoid of points by 
the inquisitorial squad. Gryffindor recieves 240 points at the end, but 
that wouldn't have been enough to win the competition the first year, 
so I doubt it would be enough this year either.

Hope that helps,

Grey Wolf, who won't even *try* to catch up today.
