And more evidence about apparition, from Snape himself in POA:

"Harry was trying to hear what the voices were saying. They were
drawing nearer --

"He must have Disapparated, Severus. We should have left somebody in
the room with him. When this gets out --"

"HE DIDN'T DISAPPARATE!" Snape roared, now very close at hand. "YOU
CAN'T APPARATE OR DISAPPARATE INSIDE THIS CASTLE! THIS -- HAS --
SOMETHING -- TO -- DO -- WITH -- POTTER!"


Seems pretty clear to me. Everything so far has told us that people
can't apparate or disapparate inside Hogwarts - yet somehow, Montague
did both. Snape knows that students can't do this & presumably asked
Montague what happened, yet doesn't question Montague's story.
Montague is reported as being "confused", yet also supposedly told the
whole story to Slytherins. I don't know - it doesn't make sense, but
I'm about to give up & call it a plot hole.
