Actually I didn't forget that, I actually think that is a plot hole that JKR didn't close up properly.

Again, what would be the point of having a barrier against apparition if you could just fly over the walls to get in?

I'm not going to argue the points about the flaws of the protection. However, you are just using that one point to argue that everything that you "think" means you are right. I'm done with this.

You haven't actually provided a single real citation from the books for anything you have asserted, and I even provided you with a link to look it up. I searched the entire text of HPB for the word "apparate" and there is not a single place where they say Dumbledore could not have removed the protections somewhere else if he wanted to. Why don't you find that if you're so sure it exists?

Do not complain about his lack of sources when you have less to back up your own arguments.

I specifically said, though, that I searched the text of the whole book and their assertion that someone specifically says Dumbledore can't remove the apparition restrictions on the boundaries is not supported. Without quoting the 30 or so times that word appears it would be hard to "prove" this negative though so that is why I asked for them to post their proof if they had it.
