YAY I love this post. No comments, really, just fascination.
I think maybe this keys into one of the other Moff recurring themes, of paternity and maternity (which would also work if Oswin's another granddaughter) - the infertility, the souffle (eggs AND milk), 'are you a mother?' and then 'what about you, are you a father?' - the answer to which, taking into account the mirroring, presented the Doctor as a sort of father-figure. Which again could key into the 50th anniversary and a return to the start, since One was such a paternal/crotchety granddad figure. Idk. Obviously there's also the Doctor being sort of the Ponds' kid (there was a deleted line from 'Power of Three' about getting a babysitter for him!) so... IDK THOUGHTS.
