To an extent, yeah, but she's not actively malicious (other than her molestation of Mikuru, which is supposed to be funny, a fact that many people seem to miss) or acting against Kyon's interests.

I'd prefer to call her a catalyst.

The real antagonists start to show up in the later books. I'd suggest you read them, as they are awesome.
