I have 2 questions,
1. In what circumstances a subscriber need a re-initialization?
2. When I re initialize the second time, Does it re applies the whole
snapshot to the subscriber again or applies only the delta corrections?

1) when you make a change to the publication, when a subscriber expires, or
when the publisher and subscriber have a data validation problem.
2) the entire snapshot - there is an option to upload changes which have
occurred on a subscriber since the last sync.
