Here's the thing - I *love* the interaction between Peter and Claire, and until they jossed her age, well, an 8 year age gap isn't crazy in some post-series time-frame.
The thing is, timeline-wise, it seems that Nathan would have taken off for Bosnia sometime around when Claire was ickle, which could mean that he either fled, or was sent away - so it's possible they wanted Claire to be 17 or so, but couldn't because it didn't work with Nathan's timeline for her to be those two extra years older?
I would't *mind* if he was her father (I'm groovy with v v twisted petrelli interfamilial relationships) but I wouldn't squee either. Alas.
