Hey 
Thanks for replies. But about the Weasley family not Apparating 
their children, wouldn't it be against the law to Apparate them? The 
Weaseley parents would be helping this children break the magical 
decree against the use of underage magic. I assume you would be able 
to Apparate a child in a life threatening situation only, that is 
why they do not Apparate their kids. Still we do not know if you can 
Apparate while holding on to something; but something as small as an 
infant and two highly capable wizards can't Apparate it? Just doesn't 
make sense to me. And I don't have the OoTP in front of me, but I 
seem to remember DD having to use a specific spell that tied up the 
DEs together, and didn't allow the Apparate. While James was holding 
Voldemort off, why didn't Lily take Harry and go? Can anyone find 
any references in the books where someone Apparates will holding 
something? I know its small but DD appears (maybe Apparates) onto 
Private Dr, and still has the contents of his pockets (Put- outer), so why 
not put baby Harry in a backpack kid carrier and run for it?
