zanooda again:

You know, the quote that I gave may lead to a very different 
conclusion. This entire passage only shows that the No-Apparition-in-
Hogwarts rule is not absolute. If DD could lift the enchantment, 
maybe some other magical occurence could lead to the same result. 
Maybe when the Cabinet broke, some kind of anomalous magic field was 
created around it, which interfered with Hogwarts' anti-Apparition 
defense.

I personally don't have any definite opinion on this, just wanted to 
point out that this passage can be read in different ways :-). It 
shows that the anti-Apparition defense really exists, but at the same 
time it shows that this defense is not impenetrable.
