Oberon helps Helena because he can see her desire of Demetrius and his scorn for her. He realizes that they once had a sexual relationship, but now he dotes on Hermia who does not love him back. ... The magical herb described by Oberon acts as a metaphor for the way infatuation operates in real life.

Answer:
Oberon saw her trying to pursue Demetrius and saw Demetrius refusing her, and he had the magical flower which would make whoever they used it on fall in love with the first person they see. It is possible that he wanted to help Helena, and possibly Demetrius since he was in love with Hermia who was about to marry Lysander, or Oberon may have just found it entertaining to interfere with mortals' lives and see what happened.
