This is made of awesome. Also, my brain hurts. I can't work out if 5YG's Past changed in the middle of the episode or not. My thinking goes like this:
* Peter has a scar, so he never acquired Claire's regeneration power (or at least not until after the scar was created) * Therefore, he didn't save her from Sylar at the Homecoming
However, she is clearly alive by the later part of the episode (and, uh, then dead again in short order). So - her being alive after all, was that true all along in 5YG and Future-Hiro just didn't know about it? Or is it an effect of his realisation that he needs to go back and tell Peter to save her; ie he decides to do this, so the telling of Peter becomes part of the past and live-Claire pops back into existence in the future, complete with a history of her own, because Hiro's alteration of the past makes this the way it's always been?

And did that make any sense at all?
