It's perfectly normal in a shared hosting environment that users can view some directories and files outside of their web root. It's the responsibility of the server administrator to user linux file permissions and ownerships to protect anything that might be sensitive.
One obvious example is to ensure that you always have suPHP compiled into the Apache build (and suEXEC enabled) so that web scripts don't run under the common nobody account, but the individual user accounts.
