No answers I'm afraid, just more questions. Sorry!
Well, 12 GP is 'unplottable' and Sirius explains this to mean that
Muggles can never come and call (they don't see it, like The Leaky
Cauldron?) Does this mean that it does not actually *have*
coordinates that could be used for apparition? Perhaps...
So, thinking it out: no possible 'plottable' coordinates for
apparition from outside *into* the house, but apparently this is not
a barrier to apparating *from within* the house to other areas
inside the house....confusing...?
Does anyone else remember reading of any unplottable places which
could be apparated to/from? Can we de-bunk this idea completely?
Alternatively, another explanation could be that it is the Fidelius
Charm that prevents apparition *into* the house, even by those
people the Secret-Keeper has given the address of the place to.
Harry has to say in his head the words "The Headquarters of The
Order of the Phoenix may be found at number twelve Grimmauld Place"
in order to see the building emerge between numbers 11 and 13.
Maybe this routine must be performed every time someone wishes to
enter the house? Maybe they have to approach from the outside of the
house and visualise the "secret" in order to see the house? This
would preclude apparition, do you think?
Sorry that I haven't come up with any answers, but maybe this has
been some help..?
