Snape and Lily had the same doe Patronus because Snape's love for Lily was so profound and enduring that his Patronus transformed to mirror hers, symbolizing his lifelong devotion and the source of his happiest memories, even after her death, as revealed by Harry in The Deathly Hallows. A Patronus reflects deep emotions, and Snape's connection to Lily was so powerful that his manifested as her same doe form, showing his unwavering love and guilt over her loss.
Snape's patronus mirrored hers because he was deeply in love with her. When they were young she seemed to be the only one who treated him with dignity and such, stood up for him, etc. but of course that seemed to change when he called her a mudblood. Well, it changed for her.
This indicated that Snape cared for Lily, and cared for Harry because Lily would have wanted it. Then, Dumbledore asked, "After all this time?" I think he was asking whether Snape had this Patronus for the 17 years Lily was dead, whether it changed, whether his loyalty to Lily ever wavered.
No. Putting aside the fact that Snape's love for Lily was entirely self-centered, she and James had matching Patronuses which seems to indicate that they were a "soulmate" type match.
Page 394 in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban refers to Professor Snape telling the class to turn to that page in their Defense Against the Dark Arts (DADA) textbook, which is about werewolves, a deliberate hint that the substitute teacher, Professor Lupin, is one himself, a secret Snape was trying to expose.

The main LGBTQ+ character confirmed by J.K. Rowling is Albus Dumbledore, revealed to be gay and to have had a passionate, intense love relationship with the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald in their youth, though this isn't explicitly detailed in the books but rather in later interviews and supplementary materials.

There are many patronuses you can get, from normal animals to mythical beasts. Some are more common, such as cats, dogs, and horses. Others, especially mythical beasts, are much rarer. However, the rarest patronus is the albatross, which is said to bring good luck to the caster.
Snape's tears, containing his memories, become the means for Harry to understand the professor's sacrifice, his love for Lily, and the necessity of facing Voldemort with the truth.

Despite Snape killing Dumbledore, it is learned that they had a special agreement for him to do so.

By saying "Severus... please" Dumbledore was able to subtly signal to Snape that he was ready. Also, you have to remember that Snape was feeling slightly apprehensive about killing Dumbledore.

During their seventh year, James matured somewhat, proving himself to be responsible and brave. However, it is implied that he still had the desire to bully Snape, but was willing to stop actually doing it for Lily's sake.

Voldemort found Nagini in Albania after his initial defeat, likely while he was a weak spirit possessing snakes; she was a unique, powerful snake, possibly a Maledictus (a witch with a blood curse turning her into a beast), making her an ideal companion, and he eventually made her his final Horcrux by murdering Bertha Jorkins with her present. Their connection deepened as he used her venom to sustain himself and later made her a container for his soul, ensuring their bond was profound and twisted.
He just wants to see Lily's eyes before he dies and has no time. It also draws a contrast between what everyone else says to Harry about his mother and Lily being Snape's greatest love. It's more profound that he didn't say the full sentence because of the urgency and he just wants to see Lily one more time.
