Perhaps to get inside Hogwarts to put the curse on the post.

After all, the curse is one of the best possible ways Voldemort could have
had to screw up the opposition in the long term.

Dolly Umbridge quite rightly (hate to agree with her though I do) points out
how far behind Harry's class are in DADA. Multiply that by every year since
Voldemort first cast the curse and you can see how the good guys are under a
disadvantage unless they either have enormous talent or are getting help
from elsewhere.
