I mentioned in my theory that his parents know that Jaune was something special, and that he was perhaps destined or chosen for something like war. That is why they try to keep him away from it. That could make Jaune's parents unintentional antagonists. If they knew that Jaune can do a greater good but they deny his fate because they don't want their baby to get hurt, that's too selfish but still possible.
