He most likely did somehow surpass the passcode lock and emailed the conversations to himself.

No, just plain text, but anyone can copy/paste the conversation to Word and save it as a pdf.

And you don't hav eto be clued op on technology to surpass a passcode lock. Maybe he got hold of the phone for a few moments when your friend left her phone unattended, the passcode lock may be set to only be prompted after a certain amount of time.

Could be, but I think the simplest options are more likely.
