apparating in and out of Hogwarts

Regarding apparating in and out of Hogwarts, it isn't just Hermione who 
protests regarding this theory in PoA.  Snape, in Chapter 22, protests 
against it to Fudge during his tantrum in the Hospital Wing.  He clearly 
tells Fudge that you can't apparate in and out of Hogwarts.  Whatever we 
might think about Snape (and I personally feel it's time Dumbledore gave him 
an ultimatum regarding his unreasonable behaviour to his students), we can't 
get away from the fact that he's been there for over 10 years and would know 
the various spells protecting the castle.  We read in Chapter 24 of OotP 
that he tells Harry that the Castle is protected by spells which will ensure 
the safety of the students against Voldemort's attacks.
