Yeah, Claude really didn't seem to know what to do with Peter. That whole tossing him off the rooftop, for example. If Claude was really so empathetic towards the way the Company treated specials and people in general that he got fed up and left, then why did he toss Peter off the roof? I can't imagine that he was CERTAIN Peter would survive that.
In my fanon, I explain that as Claude's hatred towards the Petrellis in general. He had no sympathy for Peter in particular and was taking out his aggression towards Arthur by beating up and endangering Peter. But my theory doesn't explain why Claude's advice for how Peter should handle his ability was so spectacularly bad. Your theory (that he'd run into an empath whose ability worked differently) fixes that!
