Raven and Qrow's allusion to Hugin and Munin lead to them being written as people who were given the power to turn into ravens so they could gather info. I was pretty sure Qrow didn't allude to Hugin, he alluded to the Scarecrow. You also said (elsewhere) that the writers said that while each character has only 1 allusion they may act like another character, in relation to someone else's allusion.

For example, Ozpin being Qrow's Odin to his Huginn (assuming, of course, that Qrow is Hugin), despite Oz's allusion being the Wizard of Oz.

I can see Raven = Munin. And that would simply mean Qrow the Scarecrow serves the part of Hugin and Ozpin serves the role of Odin.

Something I've been thinking for a while, though, is that what if Raven is the one who alludes to the Scarecrow?

Main reason being, the Scarecrow "lacked a brain", and while Qrow can be said to fit that by "being a drunk", Raven can also be said to fit that as well, particularly after Yang pointed out just how short-sighted her plan to take the Relic was.

They both have Crows/Ravens as a design/motif, so Raven also has that part covered to. If anything, Raven beats Qrow in this regard by using her Bird form muuuuch more, plus having these huge bird-like eyes that just look creepy.
