Severus Snape wasn’t just a double agent in Harry Potter— he was the original Severed employee.
Severus Snape wasn’t just a double agent in Harry Potter—he was the original Severed employee.
Think about it. His entire life is basically a never-ending switch between two personas. By day, he’s the cruel Potions Master, tormenting students and sucking up to Voldemort. By night, he’s secretly protecting Harry and working for Dumbledore. It’s exactly like Lumon’s work-life separation, except instead of a chip in his brain, his “severance” is powered by magic (probably some obscure spell Dumbledore made up).
But here’s where it gets even weirder: What if Severance is actually a sequel to Harry Potter?
After Snape’s supposed “death” in the Battle of Hogwarts, the Ministry of Magic realizes that his double life was the ultimate experiment in psychological control. They refine the concept, strip out the magic, and introduce it as Muggle corporate tech. The result? Lumon Industries.
Even the name makes sense—Lumos is the light spell, and Lumon is all about bringing people into the “light” (or so they claim). Snape was just the prototype, forced to live two lives until the Ministry perfected the process. Now, instead of wands, they use brain chips. Instead of Voldemort, they have Kier Eagan. And the big twist?
Ms. Cobel is actually Dolores Umbridge.
It all fits.
