	Specific locations or coordinates aside, what's to stop you from 
apparating into somebody else? Like into some old dear doing her 
shopping, I think it says. Yes, chapter six, GOF where Charlie shows
up 
5 miles south of where he intended to be. The protection for that
must 
be built into the spell, if it's done correctly.
	I tend to think the statement You Can't Apparate Into Or
> Out 
> Of Hogwarts. :) is to be taken with a grain of salt..., just like
Snape's statement that  nobody but a wizard can break into his
office:)
Books can be misleading...especially JKR :)
