I think not!

Both examples given happened prior to the very intense increase in 
security measures undertaken at Hogwarts  the year in which we see 
Dumbledore having to deal with anti-broom magic so that he and Harry 
can  fly into the school grounds.

When Tonks escorts Harry to the gates after having rescued him from 
the train, where Draco had left him helpless under his I. Cloak, 
Harry says he can climb a wall to get into the grounds.

"No, you couldn't," Said Tonks flatly.  "Anti-intruder jinxes on all 
of them.  Security's been tightened a hundredfold this summer."

I assume therefore that the anti-broom measures were very recent 
additions to school grounds security, so that Charlie & his friends 
had no trouble in Harry's first year, nor Fred & George leaving in 
Harry's 5 th year.
