   Of course she remembers those hints - that's why she tells him to make   
   that visit. The won't derail her adventures - those stories were part of   
   her history from the very beginning. The scene at the end of "The Angels   
   Take Manhattan" came straight from "The Eleventh Hour", where she was   
   dreaming a memory about the Doctor's visit to tell her those stories -   
   though we didn't know that's what was happening at the time. The Doctor   
   had just arrived to take her away on her first adventure, and the sound   
   of the Tardis is probably what triggered that dream memory.   
      
   I'd always thought that her childhood obsession with the Doctor seemed a   
   rather extreme reaction to his visit. It makes a little more sense now   
   that I know he reinforced it with a follow-up visit. "The Girl Who   
   Waited" didn't wait quite as hopelessly as we originally thought, not   
   the first time.
