         Hmm, unlikely I'd say.  First off, we don't know enough about her 
to know whether or not she knows anything about the Dark Arts or 
not.  Second, it sounds like a waste of a captive/"tame"/renegade Death 
Eater to send him into a hospital.  Third, the woman has been detached (or 
drugged) for so long she doesn't recognise her own son, much less would she 
be stable enough to teach.  Fourth, is there any indication of something 
sinister enough going on at Saint Mungo's to warrant Severus going 
pale?  Unless he just hates the place that much, it doesn't make a helluva 
lot of sense.

         Then, if he *does* hate the place that much, what happened to him 
there?  Accused Death Eater, can't be sent to Azkaban for technical reasons 
so he's shipped off to the psychiatric ward for "observation", comes out a 
bitter, suspicious, sullen wreck?  It's unlikely, but it's a thought.

         Interesting theory you've got, Firebolt. :)  I don't agree with 
it, but it's like nothing I've seen before.
