This whole Felurian bit seems a little irrelevant to me. I mean we already know Kvothe is awesome, what more evidence do we need? Is it in there just to show that she too is scared of the Chandrian? It seems a little long and drawn out...
He got his shaed cloak from her, which may be important later. He learned a lot of new things about the creation of Fae and the long-ago war between shapers and namers, and some more about how the moon works, going between the two worlds, all of which I believe will play a central role in what goes wrong for the world. He got to meet the evil prophecy creature in the tree, which may play an important role in the future. So not entirely irrelevant, and that's just off the top of my head from memory.

You know, I misread the Cthaeh to be the tree itself, and I'm a little bummed it's not. *NM*

I agree with the other responses, and IIRC wasn't Felurian's name capitalized in that section?

Not to answer your question, since others already have, but that whole scene...
