Pat:

You've brought up something that has always bothered me.  Dobby 
comes and goes, which I always took for apparition and disapparition-
-I hadn't thought about him walking into the grounds first. I just 
attributed his ability to do that to the strong magic that house 
elves have and about which we know very little.

Snape reminds Fudge that you can't apparate when they are looking 
for Crouch, Sr, who has vanished after Harry and Krum found him near 
the forest, in GOF.  

But it has always seemed like Hermione reminds them all way too many 
times--like that must be one of those red herrings that JKR has 
intentionally placed in the books.  If we hear it often enough, we 
will eventually just assume that it's not possible.

One would think that if they really wanted to protect outsiders from 
entering Hogwarts secretly, they would not allow people to pop into 
a fire via floo powder either.
