I was all set to argue with you when I remembered and old discussion
we had. This old discussion pondered why no one apparated into the
Bank or into other businesses. If people can apparate, then they could
enter and exit unseen and undetected as steal whatever they wanted.

In light of this, and in light of the fact that most businesses are
staying in business, Charms and Spell to prevent entry by stealth must
be pretty common on all places. 

We know the Black family ancestors put every protection imaginable on
their house, but I think the book specifically mentions muggle
protections. That would seem to contradict your point but as I think
of it, it probably mean protection from muggles seeing the Black
House. But it seems very reasonable that they would have also included
entrance and detection by magical means. It seems reasonable to
picture the Black family as slightly paranoid, so full magic and
muggle protections.

One small detail to ponder, Fred and George apparated within the Black
 House several times; room-to-room.

Also, we have seen at least some of the enchantment protecting the
Black House in operation, but we know very little about the nature of
the protection on Godrics Hollow. I do suspect that under the
circumstances some type of anti-apparation jinx would be standard fair.

Not sure if I actually got around to saying anything, but there it is.
