Clara Who?

I think Clara is a tabula rasa. A blank page to be written on.

The Doctor just before talking to Clara Oswin for the first time remarks referring to the Dalek who asked for his help: “This is new”. But “When you find something brand new in the world, something you’ve never seen before, what’s the next thing you look for? […] A profit.” (The Doctor, The Snowmen)

I think that Clara is something brand new (created on purpose or after some horrible accident -in the finale?), a great captor, with the ability to generate a body or exist across multiple times whenever a signal is picked up, and the Doctor is quite a signal! Someone is using her, to create a genius Dalek (Asylum of the Dalek) to conquer the world (The Snowmen) or, maybe, to learn the Doctor’s name (Series 7b).

Any theories on who might be using her? The GI? Someone else?

In order to find out the Doctor's name? I would go with the Great Intelligence, mainly because it is a 'classic' villain and the 50th is coming. Though I guess with that kooky theory of mine, any species with the technology could 'hack' into Clara and use her.

At least we can rule out the Daleks, since they failed to get into Oswin's mind?

Probably... I don't see them as the big baddies for the finale. Moffat would use another classic villain.
