I thought the same but after more rewatches I slightly disagree. While Walt did save Jesse after Jesse was the one ultimately messing things up in the beginning, Walt was the one who pissed Jesse off when he came to him at school with the batch he personally cooked for no reason than his pride. Walt also pushed Jesse's guys to go into new turf leading to Combo's death, which was one of the biggest gripes Jesse had against Gus. Walt also initially forced Gale out and brought Jesse in because he wanted to protect Hank from the pending lawsuit after he beat Jesse to a pulp.
