I don't think I saw any more than you did - I think we both saw things that the other person hadn't spotted! Your post certainly made me think a LOT - the connection with the Shard, and the Snow Queen and all the other things only occurred to me because of your post! I still haven't been able to shape any of those thoughts further (my brain is mostly in vidding-mode rather than meta-mode at the moment) but when I rewatch this season as I inevitably will before Christmas, I will have all this in mind…
People were linking the Ice Nanny to Amy because she was a frozen Pond, and also because, as the previous governess, was Clara's forerunner…there was some good meta, but I can't for the life of me remember where I read it. It just goes to show that anything can represent anything if you argue it well enough! ;-) But yes she was obviously intended as a Clara mirror, though the shattering thing only becomes obvious after The Name Of The Doctor.

I hope you have more spoons soon! <3
