Here is my theory. As well all know QROW IS NOT RUBY'S DAD. However, what if the reason he feels more drawn to his step-niece than to his actual niece is because Ruby reminds him so much of Summer and that he was in love with Summer. He may not be her real father, from a biological standpoint, but it may be the last bit of Summer left in the world and he would do anything to protect his true love's daughter. The reason he never made the move on Summer himself could easily be explained with the same reason he chooses to fight alone and not in teams, his semblance of misfortune. He was afraid that if he got to close to Summer something bad would happen to her, thus he never made the move, and Taiyang did. Unfortunately, Summer still met an unfortunate fate, and now Qrow is doing all he can to make sure the last bit of Summer in the world doesn't get taken from him as well. This might also explain why he developed his drinking habit, he does it as a coping mechanism for losing the one he loved and never allowed himself to be with. Flame me if you want, just a thought.
