I assumed Apparation was a personal power as well. And as for 
apparating every few days even if it was possible for Harry to apparate 
with them we are still unsure if things like apparation and other spells 
can be tracked. Also what's safer than a house protected by the 
Fidelius Charm? As long as you have a strong secret keeper it's 
impossible for you to be discovered.

You know what I didn't think of before....maybe Lily and James were 
aware of what would happen. I have read some threads on Harry's scar; 
maybe they decided to make the sacrifice for the good of the 
wizarding world...maybe they knew Lord Voldemort would be vanquished 
that night..
