What if the portkey were enchanted to transport only Harry to the 
graveyard?  It's possible that ONLY Harry could be transported.  He 
is the one that Voldemort wanted, after all.  Is it possible that 
whenever Harry, and Harry alone, touched the cup that it transported 
him to the opposite place.  I'm meaning, if he touches it in the 
maze, he's transported to the graveyard;  if he touches it in the 
graveyard he's transported to the maze.  Just a thought....
