Episode description

What if Snape Never Switched Sides?


This one’s going to be a doozy.


Severus Snape is perhaps one of the most important characters in the Harry Potter series.

He was the man who first delivered the prophecy to Voldemort.

He was the man trusted with secrets powerful enough to decide the outcome of the war.

He was the man who protected the son of the woman he loved, even when that boy hated him.

And perhaps most importantly, he was the man who chose the mission over redemption, knowing history would never forgive him.

In fact, Snape’s role in Harry Potter is so deep that it’s hard to imagine the story without him. Neatly every driving plot point and every major turning moment hinges on Snape’s involvement in some way, shape, or form.

And all of this just makes the question of him NEVER switching sides even more fascinating.

Because if Severus Snape never made that choice—if he never turned against Voldemort—then the story we know simply couldn’t exist.
