I still think it's quite likely Mr. Schnee isn't going to be this heartless, corrupt, corporate stooge he's been made out to be.

Just had an interesting thought. What happens if humanity breeds with faunus? Do the children end up faunus, or human? Because if it's the latter, Mr. Schnee might be a Faunus...that would be dramatic. I can certainly see that, but I also thought it may be possible they were just fine, and that Weiss' generalization of all faunus must have something to do with the WF could play something like this. The Schnee quarry is run by faunus labor. The discrimination and/or poor working conditions could have sparked arguments and fighting over it even if the workers weren't part of the WF, though they certainly could have been and probably were. This could mean the more aggressive and hostile members that came from that situation were the ones who joined in and now have taken over the ideals of the WF with their own. It would provide a story arc connection over how the Schnee company is actually the cause behind the worsening of the WF these last few years. It may also give Blake more reason to be mad at Weiss for corrupting her way of life so much that she had to leave, making the two blow up into another fight.

The corrupt business man is the easy way out, but that's kind of where I'm getting the idea he does care about Weiss, and is somehow being controlled into the corruption (perhaps a ransom over his daughter which he can't protect) which is part of the reason he's kept his distance from her.

Faunus Schnee huh... I can't find any way to link that unless Snow Spirit (ghost) is somehow an animal. I actually get the feeling Blake is a Human/Faunus hybrid for some reason. Maybe because we haven't seen a tail (could be hidden), the fact there's no mention of her parents, and she seems to have grown up a foster child taken in by the WF. (Typical abandonment over 'you're an abomination, you don't belong to either side' trope.)
