Kvapost:
Forgive me if I'm wrong but I swallowed the DH book so fast that I 
cannot recall reading about Lily having a doe patronus. Of course, when 
a doe patronus showed up to provide HRH with the sword, I thought it 
was hers, but when later on it has been revealed to be Snape's I 
immediately thought, "Of course, that makes sense, Snape regarding Lily 
as belonging to James whose animagus shape is a stag".
So, unless DH states clearly that Lily did indeed have a doe patronus, 
I'm inclined to interpret Snape's one as a masochistic torture of 
himself by jealousy, self-punishment of some sort.
