Who knows why smokey would appear as Christian to convince Claire to do things. We've seen Claire fo 5 mins in like 20 episodes. I bet it all plays out.

Christian didn't just appear to Claire if I remember correctly. I sort of figured he took on the Christian form in order to provide some tangible proof of Jacob and a supernatural presence on the island. Without the form of Christian I don't think John becomes as fanatical as he does, changing the plot line completely.
