I saw it as a pretty good parallel. In the flashback, Sayid did what he did out of concern for his girl, with disastrous consequences; on the island, he got the chance to fix that, but not acting solely out of concern for his girlfriend, but instead doing what was right. It's about redeeming past wrongs, just as with many other flashback / island parallels.
