Hey Kelly,
 Nice topic for a new discussion. You're absolutely right before the 
age of 11 Harry may have apparated to the top of a building. The 
canon is not 100% supportive though; 

"But all he tried to do <snip shouting at..> was jump behind the big 
bins outside the kitchen doors. Harry supposed that the wind must 
have caught him in mid-jump." 

As you can see there is reference to jumping which indicates a 
possibility of flight, however the preceding passage contains; 

"...<snip Dudleys gang> when, as much to Harry's surprise as anyone 
else's, there he was sitting on the chimney." 

Which supports a theory that he did not recall an actual experience 
of getting from "mid-flight" from his jump to the top of the 
chimney.  

So, I put it to all. Which magic do you suppose he performed with 
such relative ease? Unassisted Flight or Apparating?
