Hmm, that must mean something.  But what?  Anybody venture a guess?

Well, it makes sense but I am certain I read somewhere (only I can't find it
now) where JKR said Harry would never be tempted to the dark side.  Now that
could still mean Voldemort could make an offer, but Harry wouldn't even
consider it.

I still say there's no hard evidence in Voldemort's court to prove Snape had
left forever.  Unless, of course, it was that he didn't show up when the
DE's were summoned.  But, there is always the outside chance that he was
there.  And not mentioned because Harry didn't see him or something.  Harry
was a bit preoccupied, and Voldemort didn't mention near everyone by name.
