Being turned inside out? Having your hair and eye colors switched? Or maybe
jkr meant it as an homage to douglas adams, who wrote in Restaurant @The End
Of The Universe about teleportation that {sorry-do not remember the
names...}
I went teleporting one day
With jenny joe and meg
Jen stole joeyjs heavt away
And I got meggie's leg.

~I'd always imagined it as in-half the other way, slit head to toe

To repeat the same quote from the books:

In Book 4 Arthur Weasley says:
"It's not easy, Apparation, and when it's not done properly it can  
lead to nasty complications. The pair I'm talking about went and  
splinched themselves." 

He says nasty complication*S*, the plural, more than one... So what 
are the others? Disapearing off the face of the Earth completely?
