GEO: But one can't simply create a portkey on Hogwarts grounds 
considering the various safe guards placed on the school by its many 
former headmasters. The only time other than the triwizard 
tournament that the portkey was created was during OOTP by the 
Headmaster of the school who no doubt would have the knowledge to 
getting around some of the schools various protections and barriers. 
As for the situation in the Tri-Wizard tournament, the consensus 
seems to be that the trophy was already a portkey approved by 
Hogwarts to teleport the champion out of the maze, but was modified 
by Crouch to teleport Harry into the hands of Voldemort, which would 
also explain why Harry was able to teleport back to Hogwarts and out 
of the maze when he touched it a second time.
