So then you feel that this is a new occurrence, as of HBP, that the air
flight security measure into Hogwarts was not in place during neither
the scene of Norbert's escape nor the flying Anglia?

Talisman: Yep.  But don't let that discourage you.  I'm quite sure DD 
knew what was going on in those books, too.

DD knew what was going on in Book four, but allowed LV's eagle owl to 
reach Fake!Moody, ordering him to locate and kill his father.

I'm sure DD could have kept it out, if he'd wanted to.

On the other hand, one of the new magical fortifications--preventing 
entrance by air--insured that Draco needed his vanishing cabinet plan 
to get DE's into the school.  

I expect Snape told LV about the new enchantments as soon as they were 
in place, as part of the selective information he shares to please the 
Dark Lord.

The vanishing cabinet plan slowed things down and allowed DD to get 
everything lined up while monitoring Draco's progress. (Convenient that 
the cabinet in Hogwarts was broken.  Too bad the RoR didn't provide him 
with a working model.)

DD absolutely knew the attack was coming the night he took Harry to the 
Hx cave.  

One thing you can say about DD, his sense of timing is impeccable.
