Doesn't Ron or Hermione suggest in GOF to 'Moody' that Crouch Sr 
could have been kidnapped on a broomstick?

Crouch Jr might have some weird reason to mislead the trio into 
thinking Hogwarts security is laxer than it really is, but I think 
it's more likely that you can get in and out by broomstick.

At the end of PS does Dumbledore make some remark about crossing in 
the air, implying he was coming back from London by air?
