There could be security lapses involved, not only with her personal server, but also with the protocol that she used with her e-mails.
She was out of the country several dozen times over the 4 years she was in the position as Secretary of the State.
There are also questions concerning if her e-mails dealt with raising funds for the Clinton Foundation while she was the SOS.

In any case, this is not just some minor oversight that can be tossed to the side with a casual "pish posh, so what" attitude.
This issue has ramifications that could wind up affecting the Obama administration, which is why they are taking it very seriously and aren't simply dismissing it out of hand.
That is why today the White House is currently distancing themselves from this issue.
