A couple theories I have.

While I think it's possible that Qrow loved Summer I don't believe he's Ruby 's dad. I think that if he did love Summer he would be too afraid of ruining things between them because of his semblance. Her death obviously hurt him though since his picture of STRQ had a circle imprint around Summer like a coffee mug. Like he didn't want to see her face, maybe he blames himself for her death?

What's more likely is that Ozpin not only knew Jaune faked his transcripts but plotted to ensure he was at Beacon. Jaune had no idea who Pyrrha was, never heard of her school or Aura. I think for whatever reason his parents kept him out of the loop when it came to Huntsman training so he might not have heard of Beacon until he met Ozpin. We know Ozpin met Ruby before and allowed her go two years early. He only looks away from examining the students progress once Glynda mentions the Pyrrha/Jaune partnership. His behavior as Jaune asks questions/goes flying feels like he didn't want to let Jaune back out and was amused. Ozpin also pointedly congratulates Jaune and no one else when the teams are created.

But there's another bit that I've never seen anyone mention. The whole exam was monitored right? Wouldn't that mean there was footage of Pyrrha unlocking Jaune's aura? I think Glynda would know something was up when a kid that was supposed to have previous training only just had his aura unlocked and would realize Jaune could have easily died by being flung in the air. I think Ozpin delayed their footage and kept that bit from other teachers monitoring, assuming it wasn't just him and Glynda. But for this theory to work Ozpin had to know that Jaune would survive, that Pyrrha would save him.

If he previously met Pyrrha then Ozpin could figure out she'd look out for someone in need and Jaune's ignorance in her fame would catch her attention. I noticed that based on the arrangement of the people being flung off that the last people are the ones we see in the locker room with a few others. They probably were the last ones to leave.

Before Jaune has the introduction to Pyrrha he's freaking out because he can't find his locker. He comments on how the number shouldn't be that high because he would have remembered counting that high. Since this the same guy that later puts "left" and "right" on his shoes just in case he gets a concussion this seems odd to me. Could Ozpin have changed the lockers just to keep Jaune in the room longer? Granted he only talks to Pyrrha because he was hitting on Weiss but maybe Ozpin was banking on it just happening because of their friendly nature. Jaune did previously go out of his way to be nice to Ruby after her disastrous first meeting with Weiss.
