I don't think Pullman intended it to play off the word demon! A daemon / daimon is not originally malignant. He may be a critic of Christianity, but he wasn't deliberately suggesting that what is defined as malignant (the Christian concept of a demon - the word usage is a distortion / malinterpretation of daimon), is actually good.
