The point is that Claire doesn't know that. And I do think she was surprised to see him. She let out this gaspy "Hiro?" when she unmasked him. It's just that other things were going on that were a little more pressing at the time.
She was definitely surprised to find her dad in the cockpit of that plane, so I'm not sure what the point is here. And as far as her being surprised at Nathan/Angela, I figure she's become like me: nothing they do can surprise her anymore.
Clair is clearly in communication with Matt and he might have told her. Or Hiro himself contacted her. Or even HRG might have told her Hiro is okay.
Clair doesn't know what HRG is up to. She thinks Sylar is still alive and HRG is hunting him. She isn't aware of what Nathan and Angela are up to either.
What's surprising in that?
What is clear, in regard to Sylar, is someone is countermanding Sen. Nathan Petrelli's orders to kill him with "a bullet in the head".
I'm guessing that Angela still has a lot of influence and isn't just because her son is a Senator.
While not his mother, I'm guessing that Angela has some connection to Sylar--godmother, or aunt or something like that.
