...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).
If you mean patronos, it is a doe- just like Snape's as you will find out in the last book; the Deathly Hallows ( the to last movie also).
The Patronus that led Harry to the sword was Snape's 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. :)
To prove his point that he is still in love with the late Lily Potter: his Patronus is the same as hers was (a doe).

In Harry Potter And The Deathy Hallows, Snape sends the silver doe patronus because he was in love with lily potter and that's what form hers was and how he rememebers her. Hope this helps!
It is a doe because Snape always loved Harry's mother, Lily, and her patronus was a doe. His never changed as he always loved her, as shown in the final book. Lily's patronus is a doe as it is complimentary to James Potter's stag.
Lily Evans.
since severus snape had a doe patronus and he wasn't a marauder, then he has no nickname on the marauders map. however, the marauders did have a nickname for snape being snivellus as a mickey take on his name severus.
Severus Snape's Patronus. It was a doe, same as his mother, because Snape always loved her.

it was Snape's patronus

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.

A doe, same as Lily Evans because he loved her so much.According to the character Remus Lupin, a witch or wizard's Patronus can change from a "great shock" or "emotional upheaval" (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, USA Scholastic hardcover edition, p340). Snape's Patronus may have changed because he was tormented by her death or it may always have been a Doe as he always loved her.In the chapter "The Prince's Tale," in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Snape casts his doe Patronus in front of Dumbledore, 16 years after Lily's death. Dumbledore asks him, "After all this time?" and Snape replies, "Always." (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, USA Scholastic hardcover edition, p687).
Snape was very fond of Lily Potter and he loved her. They both have the same patronus, a doe.
