Linda:
What do you think of the theory that the cup being made a portkey to 
return Harry to school occurred after the priori incantatem? Perhaps 
it was Fawkes or James or Lily that made it a portkey home... Lily 
tells him that it will take him home and that they can give him a 
few seconds to get to the cup to escape, there isn't any indication 
before she says this that Harry has any way to get home at all. This 
solution solves the problem with having two destinations on a 
portkey, which doesn't seem plausible. When the Weasley's went to 
the Quiddich World Cup, the portkey was thrown away into a pile when 
they got there with other used portkeys. When they wanted to leave, 
they had to wait to have another portkey made for them to return. If 
having two destinations were possible, why not have the return trip 
already on the portkey to allow less congestion after the World Cup?
