I came up with this question recently, so I'll apologize in advance if it was covered here somewhere, but no one else who has read Harry Potter was able to answer it for me.
Why didn't Lily and James apparate away from their house with Harry when Voldemort came to kill them?
Theories include:
-The Fideleous Charm hiding them doesn't allow you to apparate out. Although I don't remember that being a rule. I know you can't apparate in.
- Dumbledore guessed Harry could stop Voldemort but only if Lily and James died first trying to protect them. The Potters then agreed to sacrifice themselves for the betterment of the wizarding world.
-It's just a plot hole Rowling didn't think through.
-Other theories?
Thanks in advance for helpful and non-helpful responses.
