well first off we wouldn't HAVE a book four if
'FakeMoody' simply beamed Harry over the head and made
off with him. 

But I have always worked under the assumption that
it'd be kinda obvious something was amiss if Hogwarts
most famous student went missing just like that, no
note or statement of good bye.  And that the whole
'plot' was probably a good way to give certain people
to grab him with out incident and maybe lead to a good
cover story for like death seeing as the tri wizard
tournament has a high death toll.
