The second ability of Leyline of Hope applies just once to each life-gaining event, no matter how much life is gained. If you gain an amount of life "for each" of something or "equal to the number" of something, that life is gained as one event and Leyline of Hope's second ability applies only once.

In a Two-Headed Giant game, life gained by your teammate won't cause Leyline of Hope's second ability to apply, even though it will cause your team's life total to increase.

A player's "opening hand" is the hand of cards the player has after all players have taken mulligans. If players have any cards in hand that allow actions to be taken with them from a player's opening hand, the starting player takes all such actions first in any order, followed by each other player in turn order. Then the first turn begins.
