Or we all remember the scene where Clair & Elle were being exchanged back to their fathers and then wess takes clair, flys away with her and elle shoots them down. Now, that we know that H.R.G and Elle were partners one year ago and made sylar who he is today, why would he Shoot her in the arm?

Maybe cause Clairs his "Daughter" but still, she can't die.
She was his partner! aha idk just wondering.

becouse HRG is the same morally gray person who shot his own mentor to protect his family.

yeah, HRG doesn't really give a toss about Elle, and was just immensely angry at her. But he knows that Claire would easily survive a fall like that, so that's why he shot Elle in the arm rather than shooting her in the chest and killing her

Rather some kind of self defence reaction, than a well planned shot.

There IS only ONE thing Noah cares about, those mother f*cking glasses baby!

Haha, yea... Why didn't he switched them when he saw that painting. I wonder what would have happend since Isaacs painting ALWAYS comes true.
