Me:
I absolutely agree with Annemehr.  
Bella didn't apperate because she was after the prophecy and believed 
Harry still had it.  

Her mission was to get that orb whatever the cost; she was not about 
to leave without it. Don't forget Bellatix is a warrior, an evil one, 
but a warrior who was on a mission. She took the risk that Harry 
would follow her and it paid off as he took the bait even though she 
ultimately failed. 

I would not underestimate Bellatrix Lestrange.  Even though she was 
in Azkaban for 14 years, she is still a powerful witch. She killed 
Sirius Black and is highly prized by Voldmorte.  After all LV took a 
huge risk coming back to the Ministry just to get her. He knew the 
place would be swarming with Officials and Dumbledore was still 
there.  Not to mention he revealed himself to be alive to many 
witnesses.  Sure LV needs her, as the rest of his army are now 
arrested, but how long is Azkaban going to hold the Death Eaters 
without the Dementors? Not long. It seems a big risk to have taken 
for one Death Eater.
