Qrow is the only person (we know in the show) who knows what it's like to drown all you problems in alcohol and it would be a nice way to show us how Qrow has grown as a character. Their interactions could lead to a nice redemption arc of sort for Mama Schnee as well. You know, a fallen Queen taking back her stolen kingdom type of story (even though as far as we know Mama Schnee has never had more than zero interest in her father's company). It could be a nice side plot to follow especially if it's spreat through several volumes.

But if they are going to let Qrow and Mama Schnee meet straight from the start of the V7... That will be too soon, at least when it comes to Qrow's development. Making him to start preach to another alcoholic after having just one moment of deciding not to drink would be just annoying and down play the struggles real alcoholics go through. The only other way they could use her in this situation is that Mama Schnee becomes Qrow's "little devil on the shoulder" kind of character who is painted pretty much as a physical bodiment of Qrow's own fight against his drinking problem. I don't really care about any of that myself. Qrow and her can get along sure. For me, the whole thing is seeing Weiss having to pull Jaune away from her flirty drunkass mom and constantly being annoyed at older single women fawning over the guy. That is not just something I predict may happen based off what Miles apparently said, but also something I really want to see happen because it would be delightful. Jaune is a strong young man who is also hopelessly naive and awkward. He is perfect cougar bait. Needs to be a running gag.

I second this. And the new version of Jaune in V7 seems to make it even more plausible. It would also be a funny twist of irony that Jaune had no success being “smooth” in the beginning volumes, and now he’s getting attention without any effort, and by his old crush’s mom no less. And yes, Weiss’ and team RWBY’s reaction would be priceless (Maybe a little jealous huh Ice Queen? Yang’s teasing would kick into overdrive in any case).
