Tony has many interpretations. Danny's parents view him as simply an imaginary friend while it could be inferred that he is an astral projection of a future self (alluded to in "The Shining"), or an preternatural armor to ward off malevolent spirits. Tony is also Danny's middle name and could have been used in the original book to foreshadow Danny's survival at the Overlook. Having read both the Shining and now Dr. Sleep, whatever Tony might be, he always comes to the aide of Danny and provides benevolent protection.
