Or because she wants to make Sherlock pay for something he did to her (even if it wasn't deliberate)

Because she is actually himself ( Sherlock is a girls name) .What Sherlock didnt recognize was  love.  He turned it off because of -  It being a fatal mistake.

But could the incident in their childhood have been so traumatic he completely deleted her? Suppressed it... maybe he even mixed her up with the dog?

And what about the suicidal and self-harm... I mean... his drugged mind was convinced it was about Culvertons daughter but he was seeing his own sister...

I totally had the same thoughts !!
I think the next episode will be all about the Holmes family and its darkest secrets. Euros is all about revenge because she was clearly hidden (incarcerated ?) during long years and now, she is blood thirsty.
 

I can't develop as I'm in my phone and at work but good point about the suicidal behaviour (eurus as CS'S daughter), it's there for a reason.

Now what about the name that would turn her world upside down? ( I can't remember the exact words)

What if it were sherlock's world which would be turned upside down and that that one word was "Eurus"?? A word that would trigger everything. All the things he may have concealed, or suppressed from his mind palace???

"Every choice you have made, every path you have taken, the man you are today is your memory of Eurus" Mycroft says in the trailer.

An East wind is coming...

Rewatching is really a scary thing.
How John's therapist/Euros says to John during the therapy session: "I am reminding you of your friend." So that is a confession of sorts. Poor John, how could he know.
But I guess that is a strong hint she is actually the sister.

In the flashback, the girl looked about the same age as Sherlock. Sherlock and Mycroft are 7 years apart. That means while Mycroft would always be disconnected to his siblings by the age difference alone, he would in no way be in a position of power to remove his sister from their family while Sherlock was still small. So what happened to her? Did the same event that formed Sherlock and Mycroft traumatise her? Did she have to be institutionalised because she became suicidal? But why would he tell Sherlock those stories? Or was it never Mycroft who told them and Sherlock just atributed his fear to something his brother had done?

Also: Eurus is very likely Mycroft-level clever. If she has truly turned  away from the angles, she could be extremly dangerous. On the other side, we know that John survives. So she does not want to kill him. Nor Sherlock. She could have done that the night they were walking together. What does she want then?

That song was in TST too - very difficult to make out the words.  I thought I heard "my little master ....  find me".  I will listen again and let you know if I can make anything more out! (Edit: subtitles give it as "my little master, who will finde me")

I think Sherlock is protecting her from herself, trying to talk her out of suicide (maybe a mirror of trying to talk Moriarty into suicide!).

And we still don't know what Mycroft really did to "upset Mummy"...

Could be linked too...

"My little master" > sherlock could be Redbeard's "little master"

Re: only 7 years age difference
You know what else is odd? In TEH Mycroft says "Of course we thought you were stupid, we had no other children to go on". So Eurus wasn't there anymore when they were kids. Somebody else must have had her removed (parents?) and later on brought Mycroft in on the family secret so that he can take over.

Or she was more clever then Sherlock. It makes sense, two of three. And Mycroft is much older, not comparable but  sister of roughly the same age ....
