Apparating -- Theory

Steve sets out very clearly the possible Apparating glitches involving
Wiz Sober and Wiz Overhung, and points out that intention is crucial
to (most?) magic – at this point we all think about the magic Harry
did before he even knew it existed.

But what about Harry before he thought at all? The intentions of a
baby are pretty obvious and unsophisticated: Want Milk! Need New
Nappy! Need But Do Not Want Sleep! Pat Doggy! Pull Tail! Waaah! 

And they don't seem to be directional – they require a change of state
but not a change of place. OK, so, back to Godric's Hollow one more
time: is it possible to Apparate while carrying a baby? And if it is,
why wasn't it done, by either James or Lily, in order to prolong the
life of their child even if just for a few minutes longer? Any parent
would think those few minutes were worth while ...
