She's been living with her guard down in the same room as a White Fang member for weeks now; the sheer number of times Blake could have taken advantage of her and either killed or kidnapped Weiss would have freaked her out majorly.

It'd probably take a while for her to realise that Blake didn't do anything, as a common response to fear is anger and lashing out at what frightened you. Weiss strike me as the type for 'fight' rather than 'flight', so she probably spent those couple of days stewing on what ifs until she slowly came around to the idea that yes, Blake had opportunities but she never took any of them. That's likely a big part of the thinking she did while they searched for Blake. Exactly. I think that was even the point of Weiss having the line "A member of the White Fang, right unerneath our noses!!" It's not just the fact that Blake used to be in the White Fang (which, at the time, Weiss didn't know it was "used to be", she thought Blake was still in the White Fang), it was the fact that this White Fang member was right under their noses, right in front of them that whole time, and they didn't realize it and had their guard down all that time.

Imagine that, for years, a terrorist group has kidnapped and killed people close to your family. Then, you start attending a prestigious school, and after a few months of living comfortably in your dorm, settling in, being relaxed like it's your new home, you suddenly discover that one of your roommates is a member of that terrorist group. Holy shit. You've been living with someone who's a member of a group that would gladly kidnap and/or kill you. Were they lying in wait for the right moment? They could've smothered you in your sleep!
