I've only read the book a couple of time, but I think that Jim taught Huck that some adults don't leave. Through their journeys, Jim is constantly supportive and caring and loyal to Huck, who in turn becomes so to Jim. Jim shows Huck how true humanity should be, which is ironic because Jim is considered sub-human by all the members of "The Quality."
