My impression of these scenes was that Harry, concealed 
by the cloak, didn't want anyone who might be nearby to 
see that the portrait was opening for "nobody" and 
possibly put 2 & 2 together.  The people on the outside 
could be timing their outdoors activities in order to be 
entering at the same time he wishes to exit.  As I 
recall though, no one lets him back in...but I think 
he's usually in too much of a hurry to wait for any 
prearranged time...plus he sometimes takes the cloak off 
(I don't have the books, so can't confirm this).
