Observation A:

I always suspected that all the "My Doctor" stuff was more the TARDIS talking than Rose, though given Incarnate! TARDIS's difficulties with names, and her tendency to call the Doctor "My thief", she probably got the name from Rose's mind. But the protective-possessiveness - definitely the TARDIS.

Observation B:

Rose got markedly more devoted to the Doctor after the events in Parting of the Ways, to the point that she verged on the clingy, and had a growing tendency to have difficulty seeing things from a perspective that wasn't just focused on the Doctor and how wonderful he was and how great it was to be with him. This culminated in her determination never to leave, and her presenting her fall into the other universe as 'death,' though the most egregious example was probably her giggling inability to take the business with Queen Victoria and the werewolves seriously, in a way that I have trouble imagining the Rose of "Dalek" doing. She also stopped being interested in men who weren't the Doctor, though - apart from the time Cassandra possessed her - without giving much sense that she actually wanted to sleep with him. (Incarnate! TARDIS seems undeniably a bit confused by bodies and what people do with them - "Biting is excellent! It's like kissing with a winner!")

Which leads me to wonder, with renewed force, whether having the TARDIS in her head didn't leave permanent marks on Rose...
