The most iconic, Zayn saving Harry from the fire.
Zayn defending Harry after he gets called a womaniser
Zayn again defending Harry when he gets called a womaniser. This particular clip he sounded quite annoyed. Get you a Zayn

The boys joking around about H’s mum but Zayn being the respectful king and not joining in
This was a later clip and now Zayn defends Harry’s mum when the boys were fooling around again and instead says she’s a sweet woman. He must have known H was really uncomfortable with it
Side note: I know the boys were just joking and they were all really young in this but if my mates talked about my mum like this

This ones just heartbreak but Harry crying recalling their performance at the R/B show. He was incredibly nervous and didn’t perform as well as he hoped.
Here’s the snippet of his solo performance for anyone who hasn’t seen it.(not me crying over how far he’s come)
To help Harry, Zayn began poking his dimples to get him to loosen up.
Here’s Harry saying Zayn’s antics made him less nervous
A fan throwing a cupcake on stage(I’m gonna need an explanation) and Zayn taking it from Harry because he probably didn’t trust him to not eat it

Zayn and the boys shushing Liam so Harry could speak. Liam’s face in this always sends meee
This isn’t really being protective but it’s just very sweet how Zayn was helping Harry even though he was very afraid of water
Zayn concerned over Harry leaning too close to the edge and telling him off
End of the thread folks, for now! Credits to the respective owners for these clips!(inc ZD and Mah Edats on YT!!) Thanks if you made it this far, hope you all have a lovely day/night
