I had always assumed that the spectators couldn't see inside the 
maze.  (Doesn't Harry say he can't see the crowd -- I realize it 
could be charmed so that the crowd can see in and the players can't 
see OUT, but....)  Especially since no one stopped Krum from 
attacking the others -- if they could see into the maze, shouldn't 
they have tried to stop the Imperioused Krum?  I really don't think 
that anyone knew that Harry and Cedric had disappeared.  Snape, if he 
was there, couldn't have had any idea that Harry was missing, or that 
he had anything to do with the Dark Mark burning black unitl Harry 
and limp Cedric re-appeared on the Pitch.
