Another inconsistency?

I believe the issue isn't apparating without a license, but that
because they were all three of age, they were allowed to practice magic
without fear of being monitored by the Ministry of Magic.  Throughout
the whole series, wizards and witches were doing all kinds of "illegal
magic" but weren't punished until their acts were discovered and they
had been tried.  It's not like a bell rang everytime someone cast a
dark spell.  No one at the Ministry would have any idea that "illegal
magic" was taking place unless someone turned the offending
wizard/witch in.
