Lee responded:
> No? I would think apparation and the power of two would guarantee
word would spread almost instantaneously. All it takes is one student
apparating back home to raise the alarm, and within a matter of
minutes parents would be apparating back and forth across Great
Britain before descending en masse on Hogwarts. <snip>

Carol again:
You can't Apparate from Hogwarts or its grounds. The only students who
had the opportunity to Apparate home were those who went with Filch
and Slughorn to the Hog's Head, that is, the Slytherins, the underage
students from all the houses, and the Zach Smiths who chose not to
fight. The students who stayed to fight had no such opportunity to
contact their parents.

Carol, who still does not count Harry's hurried guess at the identity
of the crowd as a definitive interpretation, any more than I could
identify the members of a crowd rushing onto a football field to
celebrate a victory
