LOL!  It never occured to me they were trying to keep people IN 
Hogwarts.  You make it sound like a prison.  I would assume kids do 
often try to get away. Though I would think it is probably against 
the rules to leave the grounds without permission. 

I always assumed the reason apparition was blocked was to keep people 
from getting in.  Presumably if you could apparate about the place, 
the kids would not be safe in their houses. Passwords would be 
irrelevant.  

Golly
