I actually have a odd ball theory for it all. Ozpin mentions that that story was told when he was younger. Aura seems to be linked to these mystical abilities. Though we can say Ozpin is the old man(who I think refers to Merlin) it could go this way too. Every century or so a person is born with a large amount of aura (cause it is your life force right?) and has an ability so powerful its either like or is magic and makes them more than just a man. Ozpin was the most recent born one and had become the  leader of the brotherhood (leaders are chosen for being similar to the old man) and  watched over the maidens as each one comes and goes. For at least 100 years, (what, he sounds old) he watched over them but screwed up. Yet admisdt this disaster he has found a canidate for the fall maiden, the children of the summer maiden, and the next leader of the brotherhood whom he is waitng to realize their potential (yes I mean Jaune). Why do I think this?

1. The old man sounds a lot like merlin and Ozpin is the wizard of oz (I know its a flimsy idea).

2.The old man cared a lot for the maidens (after all he did give them power) and he probably lived longer than them (I mean he died after them) so he created an organization to protect the inheireters of their power. (The birth of the brotherhood)

3.Ozpin is clearly the leader of the brotherhood (seeing as everyone looks to him) and since he has many qualities of the old man it would make sense. right?

4. This all would explain why Ozpin would let Juane, someone with no knowledge of the tools of a huntsmen (aura) and lack of combat training not only enter the school but be placed as a leader on a team even above a maiden canidate (Pyrrha). After all Pyrrha did say Juane has a Lot of aura.

Just my theory though...I highly doubt its right in any sense anyways...
