[HPforGrownups] Apparating/summoning

[Sister Mary Lunatic]

No: HPFGUIDX 6095

I devoutly hope that you cannot summon a person without his or her
permission. Suppose the witch or wizard was in the middle of a shower, or
sitting on the toilet, or being intimate with their "significant other" at
the moment of summoning.  My mind is conjuring up all sorts of
awkward/embarrassing/humiliating moments.  Otherwise, I can see Fred &
George turning a Hogwarts toilet seat into a portkey -- YIKES!

Are you sure he did so because he wanted to? He heard Snape call his
name and then used Floo powder himself to get to Snape's office? I
admit that I haven't thought of this, I just thought it was a strange
incident.

Hey, I like this idea a lot!
