Also, we don't know the range of movement allowable to the Snitch. I may not
necessarily have to stay within the same boundaries as the players. I
could be hiding in the stands with the spectators. Plus it is small,
highly manuverable, and fast; you could lose sight of it very easily.
It could be sitting motionless in the grass, or hiding behind a goal
post or hovering 100 ft above the game.

Me:

According to Quidditch Through the Ages, the Golden Snitch is bewitched to prevent it leaving the pitch, but, like the players, it is able to fly pretty much as high as it wants. So it can't go into the stands, or behind them; it, like the players, is limited to the Quidditch pitch.
