My understanding is that a ["reflection character"](http://www.storymastery.com/movie-analysis/friends-kings-speech/) is someone who acts as a "foil" for the hero(ine). This is someone the main character fights with, or at least interacts with, a lot. How is this person different from an antagonist given that this person fights the hero a lot? Is it because the two peoples' interests are basically aligned? Put another way, is the reflection character always, sometimes, or never the antagonist?
