Me (Margaret): This would be a really nice thing to have, but one of 
the most vivid images from the Weasley kitchen in GoF (at least for 
me) is Mr Weasley explaining what "squelching" is, (apparating poorly 
and leaving part of yourself behind: OW!) and talking about the 
magical reversal squad having to sort them out "they were stuck you 
see, couldn't move either way" and having to perform memory charms on 
the muggles who saw the random body bits.  But the people in question 
were fined for apperating without a license, so maybe once you've 
passed the test it becomes second nature to avoid apparating into 
solid objects.  But Fred and George did have a pretty good idea of 
the setup of Ron's bedromm, and could have avoided most of the 
furniture.
