People are still thinking that Qrow alludes to the Scarecrow but I seriously doubt that. Why? Well it's come to my attention that, with the exception of Glynda, all the allusions to a major Wizard of Oz characters have been headmasters. And two of headmaster allude to character who travel with Dorothy.

Beacon = Ozpin = Wizard of Oz

Atlas = James Ironwood = Tin Man

Haven = Leo Lionheart = Cowardly Lion

I see no reason not to think that the headmaster of Shade Academy is going to allude to the Scarecrow. I just think that makes more sense than some lone huntsman who's not a headmaster. While Glynda is a direct subordinate of Ozpin so her allusion to the good witch makes sense, but Qrow is technically more of a mercenary than a direct subordinate.

Oh, and before you say that the Qrow is crow makes it obvious that he's scarecrow, I'm pretty sure both Qrow and Raven are suppose to allude to something else and I don't any of the characters are meant to allude to more than one thing.

Bottom line, it just seems more likely that the Shade Headmaster is Scarecrow, not Qrow.
