Apparating on Hogwarts grounds

Steve:"I'm guessing at first they just apparate a distance of five
feet, then move to apparating from one room to the next, then from one
building to the next (all outside Howarts grounds). Once they reach
that stage, they probably start apparating over longer distances
quater mile/half mile) but still line of sight. In other words, from
mountain top to mountain top where the students and teachers can see
both mountain tops (starting point and destination). Then they
gradually expand the distance from there. Having to be outside Howarts
doesn't seem like that big a problem to me."

Why would it be? All they have to do is take the seventh year 
students down to Hogsmeade or somewhere. I'm also sure the kids are 
taught Apparition (by Madam Hooch, perhaps?) just the way you 
guessed, because that's the way anybody learns anything, a little at 
a time.

I think wizards are still people, so that wizarding skill is like 
other skills: You learn a little at a time; How well a spell is cast 
depends on the talent, practice and experience of the operator; 
different wizards' talents lie in different directions.
