Yes, I agree that Gollum's saving Frodo was a good way to support the "he is bound to me and I to him" line that occurs later. But what he was saving him FROM... ew. Although I think the whole thing would have been scarier if 1) it had taken place during the night and 2) The 'candles' had been more like glowing auras rather than flames.
