Potioncat:
I always thought he'd gone to twice a week, but I'd forgotten the 
original plan was for once a week....So, was Snape doing "more" than 
was expected of him?

And someone in a different post referred to Snape as a soldier.  
While the comparison is frequently made, nothing in canon supports 
the Order being run anything like an army. Dumbledore may be in 
charge of it, but there is no military discipline or order to it.
