Ginger attempts a RL parallel:
Going with the plane analogy, let's say the QWC was a regular old 
plane for which you buy a ticket and have a set time of departure.  
The portkey to and from the graveyard would be like hiring a charter 
and telling the pilot to wait to take off until you get there and 
wait to go back until you have reboarded.  Obvious flaw:  Harry 
didn't charter the plane, C/M did.  Anyway, the portkey from DD's 
office to #12 is like having your own plane.  You just ask if 
everyone is on board and then take off at will. 

Hope this makes sense.
