Here is another possibility (states Sue, sitting bolt upright on the 
fence yet again and thinking hard).  What it Snape followed Harry to 
the Graveyard wearing an invisibility cloak.  His mark burned, he 
knew where they all were and he had to assume that the missing Harry 
and Cedric were there as well.  Snape then could have fixed the cup 
to take Harry back to school (if he survived) and later born witness 
to DD about the truth of everything Harry saw and heard, perhaps even 
adding the names of the DE's Harry did not know.

Ponder, Ponder,
