You probably haven't picked on on the Leo/Hazel infatuation because it was downplayed in the HoH, but was a big part of the MoA. During the first half of MoA, Leo spends a lot of time trying not to crush on Hazel because he knows she is Frank's girlfriend. Meanwhile Hazel keeps blowing off Frank in order to confirm that Leo isn't Sammy and because Leo is a lot like Sammy, she is trying hard to not crush on him. This even leads to Frank and Hazel getting into a fight, but because they don't have the POV, we don't hear the exact details. This also leads to a bunch of friction between Frank and Leo, until they get captured by the merpeople and even then it is still rocky.

Also, the descendant of Neptune thing is still pretty confusing. Percy, Frank, and Aron are all technically descendants of Poseidon, not Neptune. Aron might be a child of Neptune, but you would think by now he would have somehow helped with her curse. It is possible we will meet a descendant of Neptune in the next book that can give her the answer she needs.
