 * Hello!
 * I protect my wp-admin directory with a .htaccess-file, so far so good, but when
   an user makes a mistake while creating a comment, WP opens wp-comments-post.php
   and requires username and password for wp-admin. Any idea how I can keep up the
   protection, without an user-authorization?

 * I found a solution, the Problem is, that the error messages want to access files
   from /wp-admin/css and /wp-admin/images so I removed the auth-access only for
   this to directories and now, users can get an error message without an auth. 
   🙂
