Why do Snape and Harry's mom have the same?

Severus Snape and Lily Potter had the same doe Patronus because Snape's undying, profound love for her was so strong that it mirrored her own magical identity, even after her death, representing his deepest bond and the source of his happiest memories, as confirmed by J.K. Rowling. A Patronus can change to reflect a person's enduring love, and Snape's, which was initially different (possibly a bat), transformed to the doe form after Lily's murder as a symbol of his everlasting devotion.

How is Hermione a witch if both her parents are Muggles?

Hermione is a witch because she was born with magical ability, even though her parents are Muggles (non-magical); she's a Muggle-born, meaning magic appears in her family line unexpectedly, often from distant Squib ancestors (magical people with no powers) whose magic gene resurfaces after generations. Her magic isn't dependent on her parents, but rather a latent genetic trait that manifests, making her just as powerful as any other witch, like Lily Potter (Harry's mother).

What does 394 mean in Harry Potter?

Page 394 in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is significant because it's the page Professor Snape tells the class to turn to in their Werewolves text, hinting at Lupin's condition, and in actual copies, it contains the scene where Harry, Ron, and Hermione use the Time-Turner in the Hospital Wing to save Sirius Black and Buckbeak, fulfilling Dumbledore's instructions. Across different editions and books, page 394 often features themes of failed or complex relationships, leading fans to believe it subtly points to Snape's unrequited love for Lily Potter, as seen with Fred asking Angelina to the Yule Ball in Goblet of Fire or Harry's interactions with Cho in Order of the Phoenix.
