Horde vs Alliance: Every friendly to each other?

The other day I was in Zangarmarsh leveling my Druid. I'm on a PvP realm, so of course if you're questing and you run into a member of the opposing faction you quickly have to decide whether they plan to attack and/or if you should attack first or go quest elsewhere, depending on their level to yours, etc. I was doing the leader of the Bloodscale quest with another person who needed it, and as we were waiting for the respawn, some alliance came up. They were both 70s so I knew we'd be toast if they really wanted. I targeted the priest, and suddenly I could see she was casting Mind Control. That immediately put me on my guard and I was about to signal to the other person in my group that we need to attack back, but do you know what the Priest did instead?
She Mind Controlled me so that her friend could buff me. Did the same to my group member. Used Mind Control and then the other alliance put a buff on us. I was so surprised that I didn't even notice what buff or remember what the other class was, but I thanked and hugged them both and we danced together while waiting for the spawn.
This incident reminds me of one of my more fond memories from way back in the day on a normal server where I played alliance. A group of us were hanging around Undercity to try and get a little PvP fun going (I'd just hit 60) and we were going in and out of the UC courtyard area, saying hi to the horde that came through. One horde member, also a Priest who I knew well from our realm forums, Mind Controlled me so that she could take me on a tour of Undercity without being attacked by the guards. It was really cool being a little gnome with pink pigtails walking easily through UC and not being aggro'd by the guards. She just wanted to show me what all was inside since I couldn't get in on my own.
It's nice when horde and alliance work together here and there, though typically it's fairly hostile. I have been friendly with several alliance members on the PvP realm I'm on now with my horde characters. Just the other day I was questing again in Zangarmarsh and was stealthed in cat form waiting for Chief Mummakai or whatever to spawn. A rogue 2 levels below me came in and was waiting, too. I made my presence known, but also used emotes to encourage him to attack the mob, and then I helped him. He thanked me and left, and I stealthed again waiting for the next spawn. By the time the mob spawned again, a mage that was 3 levels above me had come up in the room. I had just started attacking the Chief and his two adds, and the mage was kind enough not to take advantage of the situation and let me do my thing without incident. I was sure to /thank him afterwards and we both hugged and waved and went about our business.
It's possible, but I've got more gank or take advantage of you when you're mid-fight stories than positive ones, unfortunately. I never did understand why someone 30-40 levels above you would take the time to interrupt your questing. I get it that it might be RP, "that's your job as members of opposing factions" or whatever, but... are you honestly that bad in PvP at your own level bracket that you have to go and kill lowbies to get your jollies? Oh well.

This isn't exactly, a "helping each other" moment, but it is kinda funny.
I was in Tyr's Hand the other day farming greens on my orc hunter for DE mats, when I was done and about to leave a night elf hunter (similarly geared) appeared on the road in front of me. We looked at each other for a second, I was debating if we were going to have to kill each other, then used the special on my Arcanite Ripper; turning me into an undead rocking out on an electric guitar.
The second I did that he did, he used his Ripper and rocked out with me.
We cheered and waved at each other and went our separate ways. lol

It's been a while but for about a week in Hellfire Penn there was a group of us horde and alliance working together, taking turns capping the towers to get our pvp daily done. We would cap a tower, move on and the other faction would come in and recap it. We'd keep it going continously, get our daily done and more on. I notice a lot of cooperation doing the daily north of Thrallmar powering up the living spark. A far cry more fun then having a large mob kited onto you then having the mine ninja'd out from under ya while trying to defend yourself. And on the Norgannon server, i've noticed a general trend of it being less cut throat on the Isle doing dailies, but it could be due to my doing dailies before normal prime.

As an undead mage in my 20's, I was walkin to Tarren Mills for the first time and I ran into a small Ally party, 2 priest, a rogue and pally. I was MC'd, buffed, walked away, released, and laughed at. /shrug

Pretty much my rule of thumb is, if they leave me alone, I'll leave them alone. If they try to gank me, and I beat them, I usually camp them but don't attack when the rez, so I can see if they are jerks or not. If they go again I will kill them as much as I can.
In general I will help Horde with mobs whenever I can so they know I'm cool (so long as I don't need the same mobs, then I just leave usually).
Fun story about all this...
I was soloing with my rogue in outland and having a really hard time with some mobs. Horde priest rolls up when I'm almost dead, and pretty much saves me from the mob. Then, he scared the crap out of me because of his next move... He mind controlled me, and HEALED me. Luckily, not shortly there after I saw him in the same area with some bad aggro and was able to repay the favor.
Coolest Horde ever.

I'm on a PVE server, and have helped hordies a few times who appeared to be in over their heads. I was also helped once by a Tauren shammy in Zangarmarsh, struggling a bit on my prot warrior with about 5 naga on me. The shammy rode by, then turned around and tried to help. Unfortunately, he was a couple levels lower and was promptly killed by the naga for his efforts. I finished killing them all, then cleared a couple more and waited for him to rez so he could eat/drink safely. A couple of bows and waves and we were on our way.
Then there was the other day when 3 horde rogues were attacking sentinel hill and wouldn't let my lowbie warlock do his defias traitor quest. After they killed my escort NPC twice, I came back on my 70 rogue, along with a couple friends with 70s who were also trying to quest on their alts there. Suddenly these three 70 rogues weren't so tough anymore, in short order they were all dead and we "helped" them to decide to go somewhere else where they could face only lowbies and low-level NPCs instead of someone their own level... :)

Actually yes, quite frequently actually. Bearing in mind that I am on a PvE server. I always joke that I get more help and courtesy from my enemies than my allies. I play all Alliance characters on my main server. Just recently I was out questing and leveling with my Paladin. I was making my way through regular mobs towards a group quest elite mob and ran across a Tauren Warrior. We started gesturing to each other about what our intentions were, and quickly surmised that we both needed to kill the quest boss. So after some more gesticulating he went first, tagged the mob and I joined in to help him kill the boss. Then we waited a moment for it to respawn, and I tagged it and he helped me down it for my quest. Then we did the usual respectful salutes and thank you's and went our separate ways. I am not sure if good experiences like this happen more often with Horde or if it's just that I remember it more...
In PvP situations though mostly no quarter is given. If you're flagged, you are fair game. Rarely though do I see disrespect from the other side... which sometimes makes me wonder if the rumors aren't true, that Horde is generally a nicer, more mature bunch than Alliance in general...
