** A reasonable interpretation would be that he wrote the spells involved, so he left himself a backdoor.

*** That is actually explicitly stated later in the book; the spell preventing Apparition within Hogwarts (the Anti-Apparition Jinx) is under the control of the headmaster and can be temporarily deactivated. That's how Hogwarts is able to hold Apparition lessons inside the Great Hall; it was a scheduled activity and the Headmaster switched off the protections in the Great Hall for the duration.

** Best part? The Foglios are making fun of this trope. It's not actually Agatha who's pulling that stunt, but a fictional Agatha on a radio show broadcast by the in-universe Foglios. And each of these segments is cut short by the "real" Agatha smashing her way into their studio to have a few words with them.

** Later on, Othar Trygvassen, '''[[Gentleman Adventurer]]''' gets what appears to be a back-breaking injury from a Jagermonster. Not a comic late,r he is back on his feet and punching said Jagermonster like nothing happened. He explains his recovery with "Special trousers. ''Very'' heroic."
