It has an emotional meaning to it. In the wild, we are often unsafe and cold. We're vulnerable and don''t know what is lurking in the dark as we shiver and try to keep the fire burning though it's wet. We can describe being single or alone in the world as having the same feelings. When we refer to being safe and warm in such a context, we mean that our needs have been met and we can let down our guards and be secure that we are being protected. Madeleine was safe and warm in his arms ultimately. The blanket adds to the emotional quality of the wording. It's her bond with him, though, that is the feature.
