I've always missed a clip of that in the movies! That would have been funny. Do you think he would have been good at flying on a broom? I mean, not as good as Harry, but good enough to stay on it? Severus Snape Answers. Danea said: Sexy Ness Xxx.
I love that picture. One of my favorites. Hiding 4 comments Lovely pic! LadyNottingham posted over a year ago. Fantastic pic :D dottzie36 posted over a year ago. I' have had a hard time imagining him on a broom, but this picture fixes that! BlackHound said: I've read in a canon source, though which one I can not now recall, that he prefers using a broom. Yeah, he can fly without one.
He really doesn't seen the type who would fly one. But I still can see him flying one if he wanted to. Unsupported flight. View source. History Talk Do you like this video?
Play Sound. Voldemort was flying like smoke on the wind, without broomstick or thestral to hold him, his snake-like face gleaming out of the blackness, his white fingers raising his wand again — " — Lord Voldemort flying unsupported [src]. Levitation is commonplace, but our ancestors were not content with hovering five feet from the ground. They wanted more. They wanted to fly like birds, but without the inconvenience of growing feathers.
Lord Voldemort [1]. Severus Snape [8]. Delphini [10]. It's not like "why is he flying, that's such a mundane activity" it's more "how the hell did he learn how to fly? MikeBrown: Sure, it is a harder skill to acquire, but still leisurely. Voldemort probably acquired it to show-off. My point is, your average witch or wizard won't bother learning to fly. This answer is totally wrong. Flying isn't a leisurely activity, it's impossible for most wizards and witches — childcat Add a comment.
I will try to find a reference tonight Very good answer, but it was implied that Snape learned from Voldemort and not the other way around.
Mooz The answered is still valid for the larger part. That Snape did invent spells is relevant because it shows it can be done and isn't even particularly hard - Snape was still I'm Hogwarts when he invented the spells he wrote in his Potions book.
KeithS KeithS It's always bothered me that a skill comparable driving a car difficult, dangerous, requires a license that is extremely useful, would be used so little in the story. In the books it's explained in more detail why Apparition is used less than you might think.
First, there are charms that can prevent Apparition; Hogwarts is so enchanted, and the Ministry also gets this protection in books 5 and 7. Second, even for experienced wizards, Splinching is still a real possibility. Lastly, Apparition is difficult, on a different level than brooms, which by itself is enough to deter most of the Hogwarts kids' interest in it. Really, only the Weasley twins have the unnatural in the eyes of even their own mother urge to, in her words, "Apparate every few feet".
Sure, there are charms which can prevent apparition, and splinching is a danger. But so is getting into a car accident, or dying in a plane crash. And cars can't go everywhere that bikes can go. I can accept the author littering the landscape with anti-apparition charms but it seems like only the three heroes in the 7th book really make use of Apparition the way I'd expect all wizards to do it.
Dumbledore also apparently Apparates most of the time that he needs to travel though in the first book, before Rowling had thought of Apparition, Dumbledore was on a broom traveling to London , and apparently the Weasleys can also do it but as they have been traveling with family they more often use more "conventional" means such as brooms or the Ford Anglia.
In most of the novels, at least one character who must travel with "the grown-ups" is too young, and therefore to keep the group together they choose some slower method, often brooms as Harry in particular has a proclivity for them. Outside of the school-age kids needing to travel, Apparition seems to be rather common; for example, when the Ministry isn't on lockdown, Ministry workers can Apparate to work and back.
Arthur does this as his usual commute from the first time we meet him in Book 2, and wizards are seen Apparating in and out of the World Cup venue in Book 4 and the Ministry in Book 5.

You can always roll it back. Honestly I think this is a vast improvement. Let's be honest, the username of the questioners is about as unimportant as it gets.

You might want to add a spoiler tag about Delphi's identity, since that could play some role in explaining how she learned or why she could do it, rather than it being a well-known skill that any witch or wizard could pick up if they wanted.
Hypnosifl - Better now? Sorry, I was unclear--I didn't mean adding a tag to your quote, I meant adding a new sentence or paragraph in spoilers which revealed who exactly Delphi is, since that seems like it might be relevant to why she was one of the very few who are known to have had this ability.
Hypnosifl - I've linked to her wiki page. That should be sufficient for the curious. Community Bot 1. The HP wiki is generally an unreliable source of information. If you can find the sources, that would be helpful. Upcoming Events. November Topic Challenge: Samuel R. Delany ends Nov
