Annemehr:
I agree with Carol. The fact that Dumbledore put an
anti-disapparition jinx on the DEs still makes sense. Dumbledore was
just showing foresight, because obviously the DEs weren't going to
*stay* in the Death Chamber, they were going to be taken out of the
MoM and transported to Azkaban. They'd need to be under the jinx so
they couldn't disapparate during the journey. Dumbledore told Fudge
he'd put them under the jinx so that Fudge would know that necessary
step had been taken.

who likes to spell it "apparition" (GoF) rather than "apparation"
(OoP), maybe just because that way has a double meaning
