When your characters can instantly teleport from place to place, you end up having to create lots of limits.
I remember someone going through the books and trying to find out if you needed a wand to Apparate, but obviously the lesson in HBP gives us the idea that you don't need one.
Which leads me to this. At the Shrieking Shack incident in PoA, Lupin is tied up by Snape, right? Why couldn't he Apparate? Or perhaps he couldn't because the ropes would go with him. Hmm. I mean, the Shack isn't part of Hogwarts, it's part of Hogsmeade, and therefore not subject to the whole Anti-Apparition thing. Still, at the very least, Sirius could have Apparated behind Snape and hit him on the head or something.
It must be that it takes a moment, I think, and therefore the wizard/witch would be vulnerable. Otherwise everybody would be Apparating all the time like Dragonball Z.
Okay, got it out of my system.
