Flight without aid of a broomstick or other object is a relatively rare ability. Voldemort can do this without the aid of a broom or carpet, as can Severus Snape. Hagrid reveals to Harry that he "flew" in order to reach the island that Uncle Vernon had taken his family to in order to escape the letters coming from Hogwarts, in the fourth chapter of the first book; the means of flying is not revealed, nor is any physical evidence of a flying apparatus indicated. Severus Snape flies out of Hogwarts in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; he left the school through an upper-story window, and Minerva McGonagall said that he was unhurt as 'he had learned some tricks' from Voldemort. Levicorpus can be cast onto people to make them levitate, but they have no control, and can only rise upwards. It is stated that flying unsupported defies the laws of magic, as only objects are known to float with a flying charm.
Objects are also known to be enchanted so they fly. Sirius Black had a flying motorbike that he loaned to Hagrid to bring Harry to the Dursleys and Arthur illegally enchanted a Ford Anglia to fly. These machines work like usual except that they are in the air, this could explain how Hagrid flew to get Harry out on the island.
