Me:
At first, I didn't think you needed a wand to apparate.  Then, when 
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were at the MOM and helped the Muggle-borns 
escape, Harry said, "Who's got wands?"  Then, "Okay, all of you who 
haven't got wands need to attach yourself to somebody who has.  We'll 
need to be fast before they stop us."  Soon after going through the 
lifts and the toilets, they apparated.  I took this to mean they needed 
a wand to apparate.
