Because Voldemort is a terrorist, and because terrorism, in its own
ghastly way, is a form of theater--the bigger the impression you make
on your audience, the more successful you are.

Snatching Harry out from under the watchful eyes of both Dumbledore
and the Ministry of Magic in front of an audience--what could be
better than that for dispelling the mystique of the Boy Who Lived?

I've long believed that the two-way Portkey was made that way so that,
for the final act of Voldy's gruesome little play, a Death Eater could
port into the maze, dump Harry's corpse, and fire off the Dark Mark.

Would have made a great finale, if only Harry had died on cue--damned
kid is always flubbing his lines.
