Potioncat:
Well, that was too funny to snip!  And it made me think.  So far, 
everyone has come in the front door at Grimmauld Place.  I wonder 
what Madam Manners would say about this?  "The proper witch 
announces herself by floo before Apparating outside the front door.  
The hostess is ready to open the door at once so that guests are not 
inconvenienced by the weather."

Or do you open your umbrella just before Apparating?  Or do you 
Apparate at a nearby alley then walk to the house in question?
