Also, with Ozpin's "I've made more mistakes" speech in Episode 10, which is a very obvious case of foreshadowing, I think he might know about and/or have had something to do with the death of Summer Rose, who I'm 90% sure is Ruby's mother. That explains why he's kind of protective of her.

Remember in Episode 1 when Ozpin told Ruby she had the same eyes as Qrow? That only makes sense if Ruby and Qrow are blood relatives; he could be her uncle on either side, but for some reason I think it's more likely he's her mother's brother, if both of them were hunters.

I agree with whoever up there said Ruby's father may have married Yang's mother after Summer's death; it just makes sense. Then we'd have the question of what happened to Yang's father...strangely enough, I've seen no speculation whatsoever on Yang's past.

One more thing: it's common knowledge that the inscription on Summer Rose's altar ("Thus Kindly I Scatter") is a quote from the poem "Last Rose of Summer." However, in the Purcell's opera Dido & Aeneas, when the queen Dido tragically commits suicide, the chorus sings:

"With drooping wings, ye cupids come

And scatter roses on her grave

Soft, soft and gentle on her heart

Keep here your watch, and never part" He doesn’t comment that she has the same eyes as Qrow, he comments that she has silver eyes, and then says Qrow is the only other person he has seen use a scythe so effectively.
