I might be wrong, but from what I remember Claire has been involved in painful situations earlier yet acting like she could not feel the pain.
When the mother of hers drops the ring in the boiling water in S2 (can't remember the episode) she rescues it and her hand gets burned, but she does not look like she feels it (I guess anyone who puts a hand in the boiling water would scream!!)
People are getting this mixed up, she cant feel Sylar poking around in her brain because that is what happens
As Sylar says to her the brain has no nerve endings in it for itself, so it cant actually feel any pain (this is a reason that it is encased in such a thick hard casing known as your head!)
if you are stabbed through the head then u feel pain in your head so you know you have been hurt, if it was just your brain that was being stabbed you wouldnt feel anything
IGNORE THIS COMMENT NOW I HADNT SEEN EPISODE 2 WHEN THIS WAS POSTED. JUST WATCHING IT NOW!
So Claire not feeling Sylar messing with her brain is just natural!
Oh and if you remember when Sylar is cutting her head off she feels pain then!
