I think people relate to/look up to Katniss because she's such a well-drawn character. That includes weakness and strength, both. She's believable, she cares about people other than herself, she does what she has to to survive, not because she has no weakness but because it's necessary--her family and her life depends on her getting through the Games.
I hadn't gotten the impression that people didn't think Katniss had any flaws whatsoever. I know she's very popular and her strength is a greater focal point (along with her love interest *insert eyeroll here*) than anything else, but she's certainly not without flaws.
