Actually, the broken arm wasn't a result of a fall. It came from 
being hit by a bludger. 

Snape might not have saved Harry. But he did intend to do so. And 
I,too, find it troubling that Harry did not at least show some 
respect for Snape after that. True, Snape might be partial to 
Slytherin and might be quite mean to Harry at times. But I don't 
think Snape was particularly bad when it comes to favorism. There 
have been numerous instances when when others favored Gryffindor, 
going so far as bending the rules for Harry. But Harry hasn't been 
able to see that and his own privilege in many respects. 
Unfortunately, I don't think his godfather or other adults around him 
whom he respects would be able to help him see that.
