That would be my interpretation.

If he thought Harry was a threat to destroy the world, why not just crush him? Sentimentality?

More likely Q concludes that Harry may do something he hadn't planned on, and wants in on the planning. He also likely sees Harry's resolve as a lever that could move the newly determined Harry in ways a less determined Harry could not be moved.
