Annemehr:
Back in the mists of time, someone theorised that Hogwarts is also
normally impervious to Portkeys, which it would need to be, for the
same security reasons as for Apparition.  This would also explain why
Crouch!Moody had to use the Triwizard Cup to portkey Harry to the
graveyard -- only Dumbledore is able to circumvent the portkey
restriction and he was the one who made the Cup a portkey to the edge
of the maze.  Then Crouch!Moody could just superimpose the stop to the
graveyard.  There's no proof, of course, but it makes me feel better!  :)
