I don't know if this theory's been floated yet, but I think Salem may be one of the original Season Maidens (perhaps she had her powers stolen, or taken away by Ozpin (as far as he's concerned, I subscribe to the theory that he's the one who granted the Maidens their powers), or perhaps was someone close to Ozpin that believes he screwed her over, either way she clearly has some rationale (percieved or otherwise) for hating Ozpin. Regardless of Salem's actual identity (I don't follow the theory that she's Summer Rose, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me: Why would Summer hate Ozpin? It could be because she "died" on mission (quotations used there because I don't think she's still alive) but if she's similar to Ruby at all, that wouldn't be enough to piss her off this much) she appears to be some sort of super-sentient Grimm, given her resemblence to the bone-mask faces that the Grimm have. This leads me to believe that she might be the creator/"brood-mother" of the Grimm (this would make sense since she clearly has a vast knowledge of ancient Remnant, just like Ozpin). Another reason I think this might be the case is because of Qrow's assertation that "She doesn't fear your little ships ... I've see the things she's made, and they are fear." Some people may have overlooked the fact that this line is not made in reference to Cinder, but is in fact made in reference to Salem, suggesting once again that she created (at least some of) the Grimm. Sorry for the long-winded post guys, and sorry if I'm repeating a theory that's already been suggested. Anyway, thanks for reading to the end, let me know what your thoughts are on this.
