Not having the books, I'm not absolutely sure, but doesn't Arthur 
Weasley apparate from work to his kitchen in COS?

IIRC we don't *see* it, and he could have apparated to the back door 
and unlocked it ('Alohamolly'), but I read it as apparating to the 
biscuit tin in the larder.

In GOF though I think he does go out the front door.

In response to Cindy's challenge, no, I think apparating is the 
worst, but Veritaserum and Accio are pretty bad too.
