First off, Bagman and Snape are at the Tournament and/or accounted

apparate on the grounds, that pretty much solves that problem. 

Bookworm:
Does it?  I just skimmed Chapter 35 (Veretaserum) and found no 
mention of Bagman, and Snape and McGonnagal only appear about 10 
pages in when they arrive with Dumbledore in Fake!Moody's office.  
When Harry first comes to outside of the maze, the only people 
mentioned are Dumbledore, Fudge, and Fake!Moody.  They couldn't have 
apparated, but we know that portkeys definately work on Hogwarts 
grounds.

Tom: 
But he's the headmaster of Durmstrang, which is a Very Valuable 
Position that I'd be excited about, if *I* were the Dark Lord. *And* 
he's been teaching all of his students the Dark Arts, which isn't 
exactly what you could feasibly call a renunciation of the old ways.

Bookworm:
Karkaroff is still a mystery to me.  If he was a coward, I would 
think it would be easier for him to respond to Voldemort's summons 
than not.  (Think of how kids do what bullies tell them to do even 
when they are scared. They are usually more scared of getting 
beaten.) So there is something that scares him more than actually 
seeing Voldemort again. Such as fear of what Voldemort will do to 
him.  What did Karkaroff do after Voldemort's first defeat that 
might anger Voldemort?  If he was just afraid of a return to 
the "olden days" it seems strange that he would give up his post as 
Headmaster by literally running away.
