Mike:
How about the time when the Order comes to pick up Harry at the 
Dursleys. Now Harry couldn't Apparate yet, but one of the Order 
surely could have taken him side-along. Except..., they were trying 
to minimize the amount of magic they were using, plus they needed to 
bring Harry's trunk which I don't think you can do when you Apparate. 
Add to that where they were going (12 GP) required an outside 
approach which probably also means the trunk couldn't have been 
magicked there, at least not to inside the house. Unlike when DD sent 
Harry's trunk to the Weasleys remote and secluded locale, sending 
Harry's trunk into the city with magic isn't a good idea.

Does this qualify, Zanooda? :-)

Mike, thinking broom flying sounds a whole lot more fun than 
Apparating, and besides, why not enjoy the view? Ya can't do that 
while squeezing through a garden hose/hosepipe.
