Yes he helped him. One point for the Gryffindor. What I like, it's 
what he did after:
He dragged Diddy home,and when he's ill and his parents hyperworried, 
and Harry prefer go upstairs, stay 'invisible'. It's like 'ok, I've 
done the minimum, now *I*'m in danger, better to go far away before 
the explosion'. For once, he thought to him and only him, his 
security before Dudley's, like a...Slytherin.

Oh! And I find another little likeness. When Harry meets Draco, he 
dislike him because he reminds him Dudley in the first time. Then, 
the actions of Draco prove hm right.

Snape dislikes Harry ( maybe hates later) because he reminds him 
James, then, Harry's action proves him right (in his mind anyway, 
when he had the broom, his place in the Quidditch team, blatant 
disrespect of the rules, favoritism...).
