Maybe the reason McGonagall knew that Dumbledore was behind the Santa Claus portkey is because only the headmaster could create a portkey that would work inside the Hogwarts wards.

Then again, Snape didn't realize that just from hearing about the portkey. This theory's probably inaccurate.

Retracting as per pedanterrific's comment.
