Your point on overemphasising the role of Guardian is well-taken, but for that it is so significantly placed in the trailer, and spoken of so portentiously. The framing of the trailer demands, if there is any degree of honesty at all, that the role fall to Ruby. Moreover, the series is ostensibly about her, primus inter pares of RWBY, and so we naturally are inclined to associate this role with her. the principle of conservation of detail also applies, in that if it were not significant to the main plot, it would not arise, therefore also suggesting a role for Ruby.
