If, as JKR intimated, Harry will be exploring other magical places,
then he will spend more time away from Hogwarts.  Snape might
impersonate Harry at school so that no one knows he is gone (opening
up some interesting opportunities for comedy if an unsuspecting Ron
casually suggests some rule-breaking and a rules-obsessed Snape/HP
has to struggle with himself before answering).  

On the other hand, Snape/HP might undertake trips away from Hogwarts
to act as decoy for the real Harry.

Obviously as Harry gets older, he becomes more of a threat to
Voldemort and as Voldemort gets stronger, he becomes more of a threat
to everybody.  V. has shown he can endanger Harry at Hogwarts, albeit
not without effort, so protecting Harry is going to get more
difficult.  The Big Battle is looming on the horizon and everybody is
running risks.  

I disagree with the idea that Snape's task was something he did that
night and then returned for the banquet.  If he went to see V., he
certainly wouldn't have found him in a very good mood and while he
might claim that he was too busy to appear right away when he was
summoned, it would not be a good time.
