Until the Sorting Ceremony starts, she's in charge of the first years 
and would be sticking with them.  Since no one knows where Ron and 
Harry are, it makes sense for another teacher to wander the grounds 
looking for them.

It's Snape, of course, because he probably mowed down four other 
teachers in his race to the main door so he could be the one who 
found the culprits.
