No Catelyn Stark is not an antagonist. On the contrary. The wolf received sympathy from fans for defending her offspring: her sons and daughters after the death of her husband Ned Stark in season 1.

By freeing Jaime Lannister, then a valuable prisoner of the Starks, in the hope of getting her daughters back, she loses her son's trust and creates a chain reaction that will see a party allies of the “King in the North” doubt their king, and finally participate in his fall.
