I think this is different magic...

Snape and Moody almost certainly can... Apparating seems to be a
requirement for being a Death Eater, and the Aurors would all probably
want to be able to as well, to keep any DE's from escaping their
grasp.

If Hogwarts has anti-apparition safeguards, I would imagine Azkaban
does too...

Maybe he had just come out of another bad full moon night, and was
just too exhasuted?

Brooms are more fun. :)
