It's not uncommon to have to tweak your polar alignment a few times throughout the year, especialy if using a wedge type setup (rather than an equatorial mount). In most amateur setups things move slightly over time and hence need fine tuning. But "much greater" sounds like quite a drastic change that I wouldn't epxect.
