We're back to my theory that you can't make portkeys in Hogwarts
and Crouch could only make the Cup a portkey because it was one
already, and it was just a matter of "reprogramming" it.

But someone made an interesting point on the HP newsgroup the
other day: Part of Voldemort's motivation may be to publicly
embarrass Dumbledore, and what better way to do so that to snatch
Harry out from under his nose in front of a crowd at the climax of the
Triwizard Tournament, not only showing up Dumbledore as not
infallible, but also undermining all his talk of the TT as a safe means
of strengthening international relations.
