Anyway, back to topic (for the third time today on this board): I imagine that Weiss' father is alive and currently the head of the household, whether he's married, widowed, or remarried. I don't think married (first wife) is the case, because I kind of got the implication that the Schnee family is a little dysfunctional. And a first marriage just doesn't feel right for that scenario.

If he's widowed, then he had a wife that he genuinely loved and he vowed not to remarry (my theory). This makes him rather cold and brusque, but not evil. Think Tywin Lannister, or the Director from RvB. If he's remarried, then all the evil step-mother theories come into play and his second wife is the one pulling the strings at SDC. well settled friend

anyway I think Father Schnee had a wife he did love that also loved their daughter Weiss. Then she died of a common family disease that's plagued their family for generations (sort of like Hector's family in Fire Emblem), so he remarried to a wife he didn't particularly love and was sort of cold and raised her daughter-in-law to be also, Weiss instead learned to hate her family life, but can't help but love it.
