I don’t know Harry Potter, but I guess so.
I just looked into the “”official”” explanation for Snoke, and I guess he is supposed to be his own separate, real person. Removing the vat of pickled Snokes helps make this interpretation more plausible than the theatrical. And I guess Snoke knew they were a dyad but never told Palpatine.
So, eh, I’m fine with leaving this aspect alone other than removing the Snoke vat. Make of it what you will.
