Walt appearing furthered shannon's story in that she needed someone to believe in her. Sayid thought she was crazy because she said she was seeing someone who wasn't there. She finally found sayid to believe in her, then she died.

often times these things don't have a purpose other than for character developement.
I suppose in all liklihood you're right. Even so, it seems a bit shallow for Lost... I suppose I'm looking too far into it.
