Memory: In the second memory, the old man "sees" something ominous in Hassan's future ( the rape possibly) so he gives back the rupria. Amir pulls back his hand because he doesn't want to hear possible bad things occurring in his life. 3. Dream: Amir is alone in the snow with no one to help, just like Hassan in the alley, but in Amir's dream he gets help by and unknown person (possibly Hassan) with injured hands (allusion to Jesus and the stigmata), but in Hassan's case Amir doesn't know if he would help Hassan or leave. Regarding the allusion to Jesus: Hassan is sacrificing himself for someone else, just like Jesus. If the hand was Hassan's it only strengthens the allusion of Jesus with his nailed palms (stigmata).
