I think Arthur absobrbs people's "auras" like a character early on in the graphic novels...only he manages to absorb their powers and keep them alive (you can actually see something leaving Peter's body when Papa Petrelli takes his powers).
As for Hiro, I think the reason he's stuck at 10 is because Arthur was interrupted when he was doing...whatever it was. Remember that he noticed the painting of the eclipse on the rocks and left Hiro to go look at it.
ETA: I dont understand Elle & Sylar (Gabriel?) being on the "Villains" side. Seems to me that the writers have gone to pretty great lengths to show that these two are actually good people, which is further evidenced by Sylar saving Peter, and the interaction between Elle & Sylar towards the end of the episode.
