Dave: suppose the Triwizard Portkey was designed to return to outside the
maze *and* only a few seconds in time after it departed!  This would clear
up the thing that has been bothering me: why Snape is sitting there on
his keister all the time between feeling the Dark Mark return and
Harry's rematerialization.  This way, there was no pause between
the two events.


But then, I doubt Snape had the option of aparating. After all, the tournament was going on, so he couldn't get up and walk away without attracting attention. Also, I doubt Snape would get a good reception with Voldy, and I don't think he could have done anything for Harry. The Dark Lord demands obedience, and if Snape went against him so blatantly by trying to help Harry, he'd have a whole bunch of Death Eaters, plus Voldy, to contend with. Wouldn't it have also shown support for Voldy if Snape went after Harry?
