We know Sheriff's mind sort of "created" her to deal with the absence of Stiles, and once he remembered she faded away.

But she wasn't real, so how was it possible that she actually did anything? We saw her bring him take out food, but if she wasn't real she couldn't have technically done that... Unless it was Sheriff that went to pick it up and he just perceived it to be her because of the mind trick? And we saw her pull Lydia's hand away from the wallpaper, so did Lydia really just pull back herself?

I guess what I'm trying to ask is how did Claudia interact with any aspect of reality when she wasn't real?

It makes sense that they can see her and talk to her, but not that she can actually participate in anything.
