Here is how I precieve it, Rem started as a support but Here is how I perceive it, Rem is without a doubt is established main character, but her role was to always provide support our protagonist, and give him the purpose to progress. Emilia's role is (will be) more or less the same as I will explain.

Everyone knows Rem took the spot light at the Arc 2 - 3 of the story. Ever since Rem was rendered into coma when Arc 4 begins, where ever Subaru transit to, the feeling of longing-ness, mixed with regret, pain, and determination about Rem went with him. The Witches' trial somehow divided Emilia (again) with Subaru, pitched them totally alone and each suffered a great detail because of this, they had to search deep to realize why they are doing this, there is that someone important for them. Emilia picked up her feelings for Subaru and made her seeing things in him not very different from what Rem saw.

Arc 5 was a total war with Cultist leaders, so there was barely any space for feelings of individuality. In this arc everyone's bond was strengthened almost equally. However there is a crucial revelation (interesting moment), it is the debate in Subaru's mind that helping Emilia to be king in order to access to the miraculous dragon's blood was to save Rem or was it to gain favor with Emilia (Emilia while carried a difference purpose as to why she wanted the Dragon's blood). Also, upon shedding light to the ones who took away Rem's existence, the trio of Archbishops of Gluttony all escaped into shadows, this foreshadowed an unavoidable battle on Rem's behalf in the near future. Emilia again built up her confidence (like Rem) in her view of Subaru, to a point that she admitted she has reserved a spot just for Subaru(or someone) in the day she finally understood the meaning of love.

Arc 6, again, Subaru made it clear that he is bring Rem to the trip in hopes they will encounter a solution to her condition. So to me, if we are reading about a fairy tale on saving the princess, then Rem has somehow transformed into that princess. Emilia will crisscross and plays her role close to Subaru in these arc for addition character buildup.
