There is no way that anybody's grades could be affected by whether they had expressed support (or, for that matter, lack of support) for a fellow student, regardless of whether that other student's performance might affect their own grades or not. There isn't even a theoretical possibility that it could be the case, and there's no way anybody would believe that it could be the case.
I agree that they might not know how to respond, though. It is a very Swedish reaction to avoid saying anything at all, for fear of saying the wrong thing.
