I'm actually quite fond of the 'farm-kid is Ozpin/next wizard' theory. What if Ozpin doesn't live forever, but unlike the maidens, the recipients receive his knowledge and experience as well.

It's also not out of the question that the kid was "created" when ozpin died. Note that there is no other activity at the farm. Perhaps it is even the home of the old wizard, where the maidens first visited him.

I had actually been thinking of something similar this week with Qrow being the continuation of the wizard line, (and Raven being the continuation of the witch line).
