that pointy-headed bastard / jerk

I agree with Kaori's assessment of the meaning. This is meant to offer some more specific advice on how to put that to work by linking it with "野郎".

that pointy-headed dude

Since the term appeared to be a nickname of a person who appears in manga or anime, "Pointy" could be for any part of his body such as head, nose, chin, mouth or ears.
For example, it may be a "pointy-nosed" dude. From the context, 「野郎」should be "dude" or "guy" rather than "jerk".
