Actually Moody doesn't turn the Goblet of Fire into a portkey. He 
turns the Triwizard Cup into one.

Generally I am rather wary of such mathematic patterns in 
Rowling's works. Before OotP Harry got unpopular in every Book 
with an even number. By this logic, he should have been Mr. 
Popular in Book Five, but he wasn't. The problem with OotP is 
also that it doesn't fit any mystery plot patterns, because there is 
no mystery plot in OotP. There are a few coincidental repeating 
patterns in each book, but I don't think that Rowling borrowing 
from herself is a sign of an intentional pattern.

I am sure one could draw parallel from PS/SS to PoA -- like Harry 
discovering his family - a theme that is repeated in Book Five; a 
parallel from CoS to GoF - Harry making the Daily Prophet's front 
page and hating it or the house-elves or from PS/SS to OotP - the 
Centaurs, the evil corrupt ministry etc etc, so I am not convinced 
that a few repeating elements actually make a repeating pattern.
