Not at all. Both need to be world readable, or at least readable by the 
user running apache.

So when you go to http://yourserver/~yourusername/subdir it doesn't 
prompt you for anything?

Check it against this:

AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile htpasswd.file.location.and.name.here
AuthName "Something to make sense"
require valid-user
