The reason Severus Snape has the same patronus as Lily’s is because he was deeply in love with her and the grief and guilt he felt after her death may have cause his patronus to change into a doe, or it already was a doe depending on when he first cast the spell.

Severus started at Hogwarts with Lily in 1971, where he was Sorted into Slytherin House. This put him in the same year as Lily but unfortunately for him in her rival house. In an attempt to win back Lily’s affections, Snape joined the Death Eaters along with a group of his fellow Slytherins.
