Why didn't Harry Ron and Hermione just dissaperate when the snatchers came?? Was it because of their portective enchantments? And also, When Dobby saves everybody from the Malfoys, how can they see shell cottage when the secret keeper, Bill, hasn't told them where the house is?

Right. Harry tried apparating to Shell Cottage, but didn't know the location, just the general village. Dobby steered them towards it.

And remember that Ron had already been there, so Bill must have told him, you know, just in case if something happens.

To answer the first question - I think that they got panicked, that's all. It's quite typical, plus, if they disapparated, they would have lost, not only the tent, but most of their stuff (since I doubt Ron was a cleaning person). There's also the slight possibility that one of the Snatchers placed the Anti-Apparition charm on the area as soon as they appeared.

Also, Dobby didn't Apparate IN the House - since the house is the place the enchantment is made - but outside it. Ron, who had been tere before, could get in, if the enchantment was there.

Also, it is never said that they got in the house. Bill and Fleur might have just seen them appear outside and ran over to them. Don't forget that Bill knew Ollivander, since - well - since he's a known Wandmaker.
