Er... yeah. But Cobb, Mal and Saito are for sure my favourites. I think that's where the meat of the story is. (Screw Fisher!) Ariadne isn't so much a character we get to know, as a character who opens up other characters and situations for us.
It's possible that Mal was point, but I think that's a less interesting possibility tbh. I mean, point is just the person who supports the extractor. I get itchy about things that smack of Mal existing to support Cobb, considering the movie's treatment of her. Arthur's entire reason for being is to be Cobb's assistant, and that doesn't bother me one bit. I'm obviously biased.
Putting that aside, it's certainly possible she was point and Arthur picked it up after she died. There's nothing to suggest otherwise, I don't think...
