In Book 1, Draco Malfoy holds out his hand and offers Harry, "I can introduce you to the right sorts." He tries to "sell" his friendship on the assumption that he can "help" Harry. But Draco has nothing that Harry wants.
In Book 7, Harry holds out his hand and offers Draco, "Take my hand and I will rescue you from the Fiendfyre." Draco has to choose whether he will accept Harry's friendship at last or die in the fire like Crabbe.
The Fiendfyre is an allegory for the fires of Hell. Draco is the sinner who is about to be destroyed for his sins. There is nothing Draco can do to save himself (as in real life). Harry is the Christ-figure who can rescue Draco. Draco's only hope of salvation is to take Harry's hand. He finally recognises that he cannot save himself and that he cannot give anything to Harry (we cannot give anything to God). He can only accept what Harry can do for him and agree to be friends. According to Christian theology, this is the same choice that God offers us.
