This was also directly after Walt talked to Jane's father and got the "There's nothing more important than family" line. Walt is looking at Jesse both as a way to save his immediate family and as Jesse becoming Walt's family.

I know this has been hashed out before, but it's something I never really let sink in the first time.
I totally agree, but I doubt Jesse sees it that way.
