GEO: No doubt that was created with the assistance of the current 
Headmaster of the School who would then know all the secret and ways 
to bypass the school's various security measures and considering we 
also see him making several portkeys in OOTP, I am willing to 
believe that he is the way that controls the magical ways of access 
in and out of the school.

GEO: Because he couldn't make a workable portkey without the 
Headmaster's approval. The trophy was approved since it was a method 
of retrieving the champion out of the maze with style and without 
having him fight his way out of the maze with the monsters, the 
various traps and possibly even his fellow champions arrayed against 
him and with the extra burden of the trophy. Besides how else do you 
explain Harry teleporting outside the quidditch pitch from the 
graveyard when he touched the portkey trophy the second time?
