I think it might only be metaphorical, but there is definite wolfishness going on. (ETA: Clara is not Rose-like at all in character,
Also thanks for looking up the telescope. I saw it, went 'Hey doesn't that look like...' and then the next thing happened and the next and the next and I forgot again.
There is a duality to her though. She is Little Red Riding Hood AND the wolf. In the Asylum she was eaten by 'the wolf' (Dalek) and became it (Rose just changed it), and here she was also chased by a future 'wolf' of herself. Both times she was in a red dress.
She is also prone to TARDIS-blue (the TARDIS mirrored her and all the other stuff we've seen), so - like River - I suspect she will end up as ALL THE THINGS and she save the world/Doctor (probably through refusing to be a weapon/thing). And then he'll save her. And Song will guide them home.

ETA: Oh and the pub Clara worked in was called 'The Rose and Crown'.

I didn't even catch it the first time. But I went back to try and listen more closely to some of the audio clips and just happened upon the telescope while skimming through the episode. The crescent moon caught my eye and jogged my memory.
She is Little Red Riding Hood AND the wolf.
Curious.

I quite liked your TARDIS theory and haven't quite let go of it yet. How else could she hang on to so much of herself for a year against the Daleks? And hack the path-web? She must be something incredible. And lest we forget, the Bad Wolf was not only Rose, but Rose with the raw energy of the Time Vortex, drawn from the Doctor's TARDIS. I half-expected something of the sort to happen in "Journey" when they started ripping the console apart. And then all the other things too. I find myself leaning slightly more toward TARDIS than pilot.
Curious. Well it's basically what you get at below - 'The Bad Wolf' was Rose + TARDIS. So since we're getting Rose & TARDIS signals, she's obviously both. As well as his [great] granddaughter or similar. (ALL THE THINGS.)
Alpha and Omega. And the Alpha is Omega. Mmmm. And we SAW the Eye of Harmony in this episode, which was of course Omega's invention - the mentions are coming thick and fast!
"Is Omega dead?" // "Well, he seemed to die before. Yet he returned and confounded us all." This would be the best thing ever. :)
If it is him, I hope they get Peter Davison to play him, since the character was last seen with Peter Davison's face. I've been crossing my fingers for YEARS!
And as you said before, Omega's exactly the sort of crackpot who'd want to blow up the universe. It all fits. That doesn't mean it's correct, but it sure fits like a glove!
Oh my head is just spinning in the wake of the Whovian overload to which I've subjected myself.
And we SAW the Eye of Harmony in this episodeThat's what made me go for "Remembrance of the Daleks". Omega's not in it, but he's heavily referenced and his stellar engineering device is (which the Doctor seems to have taken with him when he first left Gallifrey and hid in 1963 for safe keeping). And then in "Hide", the device he uses is something derived from the Eye of Harmony that the Doctor claims to have invented himself. And in "Remembrance" it's heavily implied that he worked on the prototype stellar engineering device and knows how to use it. Fantastic serial "Remembrance," you should give it a go if you haven't seen it
