What is the purpose of making homemade soap?

The purpose of making homemade soap is so that you can save some money on soap. When you make your own soap you save money on soap that you buy at the store and when you make your soap you can make it smell like anything you want. You can make it in different shapes. You can even put objects in your soap. And you will have fun making your soap. I would add to this also that home-made soap differs substantially from the industrial one in high content of glycerine (very moisturizing ingredient, used in cosmetics) that remains as a byproduct of saponification in your final product. Glycerin is removed from soap in the industrial process and sold further to cosmetics and food industry. Also, by making soap at home, you can directly influence type of oils you use for production. While industrial soaps are made mainly from non-ecological palm and palm-kernel oils, you can design your soap using any combination of vegetable oils of much higher conditioning quality (olive oil, sunflower oil, shea butter...). Instead of water, that is used to dissolve lye which is necessary in the production of soap, you can use floral or plant infusions with healing characteristics specific for your skin type. By an addition of a number of other goodies you can design a soap that fits you the best. Also home-made soap is a perfect gift for your friends and family!

What makes the soap feel soapy?

There is no chemical reaction. Lathering is just air bubbles getting trapped inside the liquid. Soap has a high surface tension, and so if you introduce air bubbles inside it, they tend to stay for a while (unlike water for instance, where the air bubble won't stay for long and will just rise to the surface and fall out). This is also why you can blow soap bubbles (but not water bubbles).
