Notice-Me-Not is just a fanon thing? Noooo :-O

I was just searching for info on the Notice-Me-Not charm, and there isn't any, because it's a FANON INVENTION. NOOO! Really? The first webpage I found where someone was asking about it, had some smartarse saying "I think you'll find that's just a sad FAN FICTION thing, you poor deluded fool", I was smirking away: "heh, that's what you think, I have seen it in LOADS OF.....er.... loads of fics. Err. Ahem."

Did you all know this? Who made it up? What other fanon things have become so widespread that they can fool us like this? I know about Tempus, but can you tell me any others?

I'm always wondering about these "Apparation Points" mostly because (and maybe this is stooopid) if you stand too long on that place won't someone that might want to Apparate be splinched or Apparate on top of you?

I always think about that when they do that at a party and they have a moment right there on the point and i'm thinking 'omg, someone is going to Apparate into them!!!!' or something. lol

I just don't get what purpose they are meant to serve (aside from large group events like the World Cup). We see characters Apparating from whatever spot they are standing on all the time in canon.

And, lol, you make a very good point. :)
