During the time that Voldemort's name was under Taboo spell, Harry Potter mistakenly used his name. This led Fenrir and the other Snatchers to find them.
Why didn't Harry, Ron, and Hermione disapparate when they appeared? Obviously they wouldn't have had time to pack up the tent, but if it was between life or death, then why wouldn't they just choose to live and leave everything behind?
‘Harry –’
‘Come on, Hermione, why are you so determined not to admit it? Vol—’
‘HARRY, NO!’
‘—demort’s after the Elder Wand!’
‘The name’s Taboo!’ Ron bellowed, leaping to his feet as a loud crack sounded outside the tent. ‘I told you, Harry, I told you, we can’t say it any more – we’ve got to put the protection back around us – quickly – it’s how they find –’
But Ron stopped talking, and Harry knew why. The Sneakoscope on the table had lit up and begun to spin; they could hear voices coming nearer and nearer: rough, excited voices. Ron pulled the Deluminator out of his pocket and clicked it: their lamps went out.
‘Come out of there with your hands up!’ came a rasping voice through the darkness. ‘We know you’re in there! You’ve got half a dozen wands pointing at you and we don’t care who we curse!’
Why didn't they just disapparate?
