All right, I shall try to give you some answers...

I made that point a while ago, and since then, some things have changed...So, hence, that initial conclusion of mine was only a product of my own personal analysis. The idea that Uncle Rick only provided the Seven demigods with POVs seemed to be quite obvious to me, UNTILL he revealed that Nico di Angelo is about to receive one in the last book! So then, I logically concluded that he must be part of the Prophecy as well, instead of Annabeth. My main argument for this, as I have said before, was that Jason, Piper, Percy, Leo, Frank, and Hazel were all confirmed to be members of the Seven (by Medea and Ares/Mars respectively), while Annabeth was not. This lead me to assume that giving Annabeth a POV was a misinformation campaign on Riordan's part, used to confuse readers, and to bring about a final twist in the last book. HOWEVER, yesterday I suddenly learned that Reyna has been given a POV as well... With that in mind, my argument above might be invalid :(( So, there are only 3 options here (that I can think of at the moment):

1) Nico is a member of the Seven (replacing Annabeth for reasons mentioned above), while Reyna is NOT, and is only given a POV due to her important role of ending the Second Demigod Civil War. Nico being a member is also supported by the fact that he is the more powerful of the 2, truly being one  of the "  seven greatest demigods of the age ." 

2)  Nico and Reyna are both members of the Seven (though not yet), and will replace two other members (a male and female) that are either only incapacitated (hopefully), or sacrificed to raise Gaea from her deep slumber (hopefully not).

3) Neither of them are members of the Seven, and are only given POVs due to their important roles in ending the Second Demigod Civil War. (I really hate this option!)

Lastly, no, if options 1 or 2 are correct, I do NOT see that as a problem with their being two children of Hades/Pluto as members of the Seven. Why? Well, because, simply put, Hades and Pluto are not exactly the same person, but, rather, two different form of the same person, with slightly different physical appearances. Also, while Hades is more associated with the dead, Pluto is more associated with wealth, which means that Nico and Hazel's powers do not technically cancel each other out.

Have I answered your questions? I really hope that you see this response before you leave this wiki forever!!
