Actually wands concentrate and direct power.  After all, under aged 
children can do magic (take the memory of the young Snape spying on Lily 
and Petunia before Lily knows that she's a witch).  It's unclear whether 
apparating requires a wand, at least certainly not a wand in the hand.

And I also disagree that the choice was always Harry's. Oh I know that he chose to sacrifice himself on his own and I would not have Harry any other way. However I would argue that Dumbledore lead him towards becoming the person who made this choice all his life and that I find disgusting. Starting with placing him with Dursleys, which of course was never his choice, then making sure no adults knew about the road Dumbledore put in front of him. Oh sure Harry, tell nobody about the horcruxes and prophecy, nobody but Ron and Hermione. I wonder was Dumbledore afraid that if say Remus or Arthur or Molly actually knew they may have found other possibility to dealing with all this but teenager dying? Oh do not get me started on dear Dumbledore LOL.

With TDL and all the DEs looking for him, I don't think DD could have 
successfully hidden HP forever.  Besides, wouldn't have been much of a 
book otherwise.
