The unsympathetic charicter is the antagonist, Gerard Bonneville. Bonneville is trying to steal lyra and trade her to get a labratory which already makes him evil. Then when you learn he lost his old labortary because he is a wife beater and his hyina is evil and has three legs.

The book is driven by the plot. When Lyra's father finds out where she is, he gives Malcolm his address and upgrades his boat. This is because he is told by a gypsy that there will be a ginormous flood, and when the flood comes Malcolm only has one option after saving Lyra which is to bring him using the newly upgraded boat to find the house with the address.

I wonder if the man that brought back malcoms boat is really in okaley street, because nobody knew about him. Maybe he is a spy for the CCD that planeted something with all the modifications that he did on the boat. I also wonder what Dr. Relf is asking the alethiometer for okaley street. Maybe it is the prophecy mentioned near the beginnig of of the book about Lyra because the answers it gives are like prophecys.

I predict that Malcolm Polstead will become a spy. On the back of the book it says that it was inevitable that he will become a spy, he also finds a secret message from a spy who was killed and when asked about it by the government he lies and says nothing. This leads me to belive that he will find the people that the spy was working for and try to join them.
