...If by Emily, you mean Lily (Harry's mother), then it's because he loved her so much. A patronus (the silver thing in the movies that takes the form of an animal) takes the animal shape of someone you either love or trust to protect you. Snape felt deep, everlasting love for Lily, so his patronus took the form of a doe (her animal equivalent).

Wizards' Patronuses can sometimes change shape. Severus Snape loved Lily (Evans) Potter and so his patronus changed shape to the same one as Lily, a doe. It is very likely that Snape's patronus didn't actually change shape and was always a doe since he had loved Lily all his life.


What is severus snapes patronus?

J. K. Rowling does not mention Hargid having a patronus in any of the books. This may be because Hagrid got exspelled in his third year. I do think if Hagid had a patronus it would looks like Fang, his dog. :)

Dumbledore asks him, "After all this time?" and Snape replies, "Always." (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, USA Scholastic hardcover edition, p687).
