I quite like Alois and his erratic behavior and while Claude doesn't really impress me much, I suppose his character can be worked on as the season progresses, considering the trailer seemed to suggest that the new season would be entirely about these two.
And I like you're theory about Claude being one of the Fair Folk, because demons suddenly deciding that the best way to capture souls is to become butlers is a bit odd to say the least.
Sebastian turned up that potential seemed to be tossed to the wayside in lieu of the degeneration of the series that occurred in the first anime. Sadly you are right, the second episode confirms it, I found this blog entry and apparently the whole episode is just nonsense and Sebastian, Ciel and Lizzie are just going about as if the first season didn't happen, which would make some sense if this season had no relation to the previous one, but since it does, it's all just gone to hell.
