Hi, I've been wondering for a while now about Snape's whereabouts 
during the third task of the Triwizard tournament. He wasn't 
patrolling round the maze. Until HBP I assumed that he indeed *did* go to LV's reunion party, but I was clearly wrong. 
 

Juli:
 
I've been looking in GoF for any hints of where Snape could have been. 
 
"We are going to be patrolling the outside of the maze," said Professor McGonagall to the champions. "If you get into difficulty, and wish to be rescued, send red sparks into the air, and one of us will come and get you, do you understand?" (GoF Ch 31 The Third Task). I asume that all the teachers were patrolling. 
 
The next time we see Snape is in Crouch!Moody's office:

"Stupefy!" There was a blinding flash of red light, and with a great splintering and crashing, the door of Moody's office was blasted apart - Moody was thrown backward onto the office floor. Harry, still staring at the place where Moody's face had been, saw Albus Dumbledore, Professor Snape, and Professor McGonagall looking back at him out of the Foe-Glass. (Ch 31 GoF)

My guess is that he was all along in the maze with the other teachers, then when "Moody" took Harry to his office, Dumbledore asked McGonagall and Snape to follow him.
