I haven't got the books with me at the moment, and can't be as 
thorough as I'd like, so these are just top-of-the-head things.

1 - Offering to help Harry with his trunk upon their first meeting and
2 - doing same on other occasions.
3 - Making Harry feel welcome when he was sorted into Gryffindor and 
when he was added to the Quidditch team with no experience.
4 - Coming to Harry's rescue in the Flying Ford Anglia when he's been 
locked in his room.
5 - Along with Ron, explaining a lot of wizard world stuff to Harry 
and Hermione.
6 - Better than Ron, never once expressing any kind of prejudice 
against those who are different.
7 - trying to cheer up Ginny and Harry during CoS (maybe not 
effective in Ginny's case, but nice, nonetheless).
8 - insisting that Percy spend Christmas with the family

I don't have a lot of time at the moment, so I'll quit here, but if I 
get a chance I'll flip through the books soon to refresh my memory 
and post more.  But let me add my favorite purely speculative one:
9 - Helping Ginny come up with clever rhymes for Harry's Valentine.
