There is much symbolism in The Polar Express. As a minor example, the fact that the pin that holds a lever together (in the engine room in the train) is gold symbolizes its importance (it could have been silver or another color). Other examples: The boy and Santa represent the true spirit of Christmas. And the "hobo-looking" ghost represents the ba-humbug in all of us: that we will usually believe only what we can physically see.
I think the hobo represents the doubt of a Christmas Spirit in the boy.
