Re: Charlie. There's some speculation that each one of Desmond's interventions to save Charlie's life subtly altered the destinies - and even histories - of the other characters when the "course corrections" kicked in.
Perhaps Desmond's original vision - of Claire and Aaron in the helicopter after Charlie's death - was true, but his own meddling by saving Charlie set another series of events in motion, one of which altered Claire's future.
She threw her lot in with Locke *because* of Charlie's final warning, and so was at the Barracks when Keamy's team attacked. (I'm assuming that she died of the head injury sustained in the explosion, and is now in happy cabin land with Dead!Christian.)
Had Desmond let Charlie die on one of the earlier occasions, there would have been no warning about the freighter, and the survivors wouldn't have split so dramatically. Claire may have boarded a helicopter with Aaron.
Of course, Keamy was under orders to kill everyone anyway, so it might have been a short trip :o)
