Rebecca:

Yes this is a bit confusing.  I don't think Apparation is limited to only 
places you have seen or been before.  That would mean that if you wanted to 
go to a new store or a new friends house you could only get there by 
conventional means (.

We know there is an exception for places that have alot of magical 
securities lined up like Hogwarts and to places where there is a secret 
keeper involved.

I'm not sure on this one but it just doesn't make sense that you can't 
apparate to a new place.  Anyone  else?
