          I think the answer is:




          Diagonally




          My prefix is helpful if reversed,




          Aid




          My infix is in the past,




          Ago




          My suffix can be a friend




          Ally




          Just a little direction you may append.




          Needs an N to complete the word




          look at me from a different angle




          Descriptive of "diagonally"




          and this puzzle you may untangle.




          Seems so.

          I think the answer is




          Diagonal




          My prefix is helpful if reversed,




          Dia is "aid" reversed.




          My infix is in the past,




          Ago - meaning in the past.




          My suffix can be a friend




          Al - "If you'll be my bodyguard, I can be your long lost pal"




          Just a little direction you may append.




          N for North, the only letter yet to be included.




          look at me from a different angle

          and this puzzle you may untangle.




          A diagonal line is set at an agle from horizontal and vertical.
