Much more dutiful snipping

Sue, who has fallen remarkably behind on the posts here:

I don't recall there being canon that people can't *learn* to 
apparate before they are 17, just that they cannot be licensed to do 
it until after their 17th birthday.  It could sort of be like a 
drivers license, you spend quite a while learning and even get a 
permit to practice before you are licensed.

That's how I thought it worked anyway.  If that is the case, it would 
be quite unremarkable for anyone to teach the trio to apparate, only 
their use of it to move about freely would be a problem.

My thoughts,
Sue
