He doesn't!
He had to go get it when Dumbledore wanted to interrogate Crouch in 
GOF. I don't have the book in front of me but I remember him sending 
Severus to "bring back the strongest truth potion you have" and 
Winky. Now, I suppose you could say he had the veritaserum with him 
all along and only went to fetch Winky but....
Anyway I don't think he was going to give veritaserum to Harry. He 
was just pushing his buttons "as only Snape can".
