I think you're right about Amy, and you lay it out very well. It's all so compelling in the symbolism; I just wish it could have been fleshed out a little more thoroughly. She also points a gun at River at the end of AGMGTW, so I think there's also something in River as the one who steals the Doctor away from Amy generally (not just in her role as his killer) and even as someone complicit in stealing her baby self away from her parents. Definitely a lot of room for conflicting feelings between Amy and River.
