In my understanding, overrated is when fans gush over a character when he or she is not supposed to be having that fame in the way the author created them. In Annabeth and Percy's case (no, not the user), the overrating is something Riordan did purposely. The view of the fans is still below that of Riordan, so that doesn't actually count as overrated. In Leo's case though, he was designed to be the underrepresented one or whatever, and suddenly all are gushing over him.
