Bohcoo responds:

OOP, ch. 37, pg. 822, American Edition:
"The empty fireplace burst into emerald-green flame, making Harry 
leap away from the door, staring at the man spinning inside the 
grate. As Dumbledore's tall form unfolded itself from the fire, the 
wizards and witches on the surrounding walls jerked awake. Many of 
them gave cries of welcome."

This is the description of Dumbledore returning to his office from 
the MOM after his chat with Fudge of that night's events. It could be 
that he is powerful in ways other wizards aren't and therefore only 
he can transport via Floo Network into Hogwarts.
