Buttercup:

I was also hoping that Harry would show an advanced
ability to apparate and start sooner than what was
allowed by Wizard Laws. But if he did apparate before,
don't you think he would've known?  

Is it in the 6th or 7th year that students learn? Or
maybe it's in between, since Fred and George knew
during the summer before their last year at Hogwarts.
