Not every single year; Snape hasn't threatened Harry with that since
POA.  And when he had a headmistress who was actively looking for an
excuse to expel Harry, he could have arranged it.  But we can safely
assume he didn't - because Umbridge would have jumped on the chance.

Snape's threat of expulsion is his idea of a threat to keep Harry in
line.  After all, since in Snape's mind Harry has the same
personality as James, to deprive Quidditch star Harry of his adoring
audience of fans would be a fate worse than death and therefore the
ultimate punishment.
