This is basically pure speculation
but I have a feeling that Claire is at least part alien
and that her alien heritage will end up being both the cause of this outpouring of evolutionary change
as well as becoming a major threat to the world. I also have a feeling that Peter P. may in fact blow HIMSELF up in order to destroy Claire.
Which will be a sad heroic act since he will have fallen thoroughly in love with her by then.
Claire's parentage is still up in the air but:
Jessalyn Gilsig has been cast as Claire's biological mother.
Actually, I think this may support my thesis because Jessalyn Gilsig doesn't look quite human (to my eyes at least).

I suspect the identity of Claire's father will be kept a secret for all of season 1 and most of season 2. There will be suggestions that her father is in fact Horn-rimmed-glasses-guy Bennet or perhaps the "Claude" character played by Christopher Eccleston or other characters but none of those will pan out.
It seems like all the "mutations" started happening around the time of Claire's birth.
In episod 7 "Nothing to Hide" "Zach" screamed at HRG Bennet about Claire:
"She's not Human"
and HRG's response was:
"I put more stock in her humanity than I do in yours" (or "has faith in")
That was an interesting answer. HRG doesn't necessarily think of Claire as "Human" exactly, but he "puts stock" in the idea that she may (at least has the potential to) have more "humanity" than Zach does.
The "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World" quote (in a paradoxical way) ORIGINATED with Peter Petrelli, telling (younger) Hiro, who then becomes future, sword-wielder Hiro and comes back in time to tell Peter to "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World." While I believe Claire will be developed as central in the story because of that "Save the Cheerleader" quote, right now, nothing in the storyline truly indicates Claire really IS the key to "saving the world"
In Peter's vision of New York evacuated except for the "Heros", Claire comes up to peter and mouths the words "I'm Sorry" to him, just before Peter blows up. Perhaps she is sorry to have failed to save the world or perhaps she is sorry to have threatened the world with destruction. With all the visions telling all the central players in this drama to "Get the hell out of NYC", it also strikes me as odd that the Heros all stuck around, even after the city itself was evacuated. Maybe they all know they are infected with a cruel alien virus and are allowing themselves all to be incincerated.
The interviews with the producers keep talking about the fact that all the "heros" are not all black or white in their characters or motives, they inhabit grey moral areas. The producers also seem to have the "twists" concerning the explosion pretty much worked out already.
I suspect the major "Twist" is that after all the visions, Peter discovers that perhaps he is SUPPOSED to blow up Claire and he takes on the Radioactive man power to do just that.
But conflicting evidence revealed over two or more seasons indicate that perhaps he SHOULD "Save the cheerleader" after all. At which point, semi-jerk Nathan grabs him and rockets the explosion into the ionisphere.
Peter's choice will be uncertain until the very last second before that explosion.
Maybe
:D
