I imagine his presence may have been part of that, but I also imagine that the fact that Sora's memories of Riku were never significantly tampered with might explain why Riku seems to remember Sora with some clarity.
Well, Sora's memories of Selphie, Wakka and Tidus (not to mention Leon & co.) weren't tampered with so much either, and yet they forgot, so I don't think that's the case. Kairi was actually the only one from the islands to remember ANYTHING about Sora - she wouldn't go back to their island until she remembered everything about "that other boy", remember?
