Jayne:
I have a query from DH. When Harry , Hermione and Ron disapparated
most of the time they all hung on to each other. This lead to Ron
getting splinched badly which moved me quite a lot
Wouldn't it have been easier to do it alone.
Were Harry and Ron able to do it without Hermione's help?
Sharon:
They hung on to Hermione because it was she who chose where they would apparate to.  Also Harry had only just turned seventeen and hadn't taken his apparition test yet. In fact, we don't really know if he can apparate, at least at the beginning of DH.  We know he took some classes in apparition the previous year but I don't think there was any discussion of exactly how good he was at it.  I am thinking, too, that there might have been some kind of revealing spell that alerts the MOM when someone apparates without a license.

There was some discussion about Ron's splinching on the OTC list (I think it was that one) recently and someone suggested that he got splinched becuase he was expecting to stop at 12 Grimmauld, and apparating ahs something to do with intention. So he got confused and got splinched. OR, perhaps becuase Hermione apparated them so quickly and in some confusion from GP, and so she didn't do it with the right amount of determination/intention.  Just some thought.

Sharon, who wishes she could apparate because the traffic is so bad every morning and it's driving her nuts trying to get to work!
