Mandy here again:
There is certainly no canon for Snape having any time off during the 
week, but he does seem to have substantial responsibilities off the 
Hogwarts grounds.  

We do know Dumbledore has Snape working with Voldemort in some way, 
possibly through Lucius Malfoy.  Snape must have to leave on a 
somewhat regular basis to accomplish that task, although I imagine 
some communication could be done through sticking his head through 
the Floo Network without actually leaving the school.  So let's 
suppose Snape leaves the grounds to visit Lucius Malfoy and stops by 
St. Mungo's to see his mum on his way back to school, something 
Dumbledore would not begrudge anyone.  Also, I don't think Snape 
would only go to visit his mum in hospital just during the school 
holidays.  I have faith that he has a 'small' soft spot in his black 
heart somewhere. 

Yeah it's very weak, but logistically possible IMO.
