  <<<snip>In OotP, Minerva said that Albus got the new and then quickly flew to 
  the MoM (he could use a broom..but why not apparate)?

  Dumbledore tells Hermoine once (can't remember which book) that he 
  passed her delivery owl in the air.  



  I read it that even for a powerful wizard, apperating over a long distance was both risky and tiring.  However, in OotP, Hagrid tells Harry that the 'tame' thestrals can be ridden/flown, are faster than a broom, and that Dumbledore has in fact used them for urgent matters in the past.  That might explain the references.
