Except all of Athena's campers are said to be intelligent, so it really isnt that helpful ("when everyone is special, no one is," kind of deal). I mean all of Hephaestus' kids are good with machines, but only Leo can use fire. Piper has charm-speak, something only one other Aphrodite camper has. Annabeth hasnt shown any powers like these which is why I think she isnt one of the seven, but she may still play an important role
