Could you? This is the first one who - in a different form / life - already had a link to The Doctor.
All other companions, except Donna, were random choices
Well yes and no. I'm no expert and I might be getting confused in the time stream. But...
If the Doctor hadn't met Amy and taken her on the TARDIS, River would never have been born (at least not as part Time Lord) and she would therefore not have been available to 'die' instead of the Doctor in the Library in series 4. So the Doctor would have died and never met Amy...
So Amy already kind of had a link to the Doctor even though she, he and we did not know that.

Good point - but I think she was the one who invited him to the Library in the first place? If she didn't exist, he wouldn't have gone
In that case, the Doctor and Amy meeting is guaranteed - because the consequences of it happening have already happened, the probability of it happening is 1.
Anything that happens, happens.
Anything that, in happening, causes something else to happen, causes something else to happen.
Anything that, in happening, causes itself to happen again, happens again.
It doesn't necessarily do it in chronological order, though.
How do you know Clara didn't remembrer the Doctor? She may have been prtending. She may have kissed the Doctor to find out where he's been since they last met. A kiss with a Time Lord is nt like an ordinary kiss and would make one great interogation method. Perhaps special weapons daleks simply went around snogging Timelords until they found out how to penetrate gallifrey's defenses?

Ah good point.
God this time travelling thing hurts :eek:
What about Tegan?
She Travels with the Doctor, leaves him and then randomly meets him again (2 years later I think from her PoV) in Amsterdam.
How rude! :eek::o
