Tom:

Well, I suppose you can say the same thing about any of the
wizards or witches that use brooms to fly ... What's the use
when they can just disapparate? I think it adds to the depth
of the story. Specifically, everyone seems to be impressed
that Voldemort can fly without a broom. I think it just goes
to show how powerful Voldemort had gotten.

When I envision Voldemort flying I imagine him using the
time to think about what he's going to do when he reaches
his destination.

I liked the flying aspect.
