*****This is something that I have struggled with.  Do we really know 
that you can't apparate withing Hogwarts?  Have we been told that?  
I'm not sure.  I know that Hermione has said that you can't apparate 
into or out of Hogwarts.  But can someone do it withing the castle?  
We have seen that Fawkes and Dobby have been able to although that 
might be a different sort of magic.  I was struggling with this 
because in my fanfiction story that I am writing, I had the kids 
practicing apparation in the Room of Requirements and I had a lot of 
people reminding me that you can't apparate in Hogwarts.  I'm not 
sure.  Does anyone know if we have been told specifically about 
apparation within Hogwarts?******
