Qrow and Raven undercover gathering information for Ozpin based off of Hugin and Munin poem (see link above if you havent already). If they are undercover they cannot use their real names, weapons, or fighting styles. Qrow is said to be a teacher at signal and doesnt teach every student how to wield a sniper scythe, so he must know several different fighting styles. Big hole as to him being a teacher and a criminal at the same time I know, but police officers that go undercover live double lives all the time. Raven and Adam have similar clothing styles and even more similar fighting styles which would make some sense if they are siblings (not 100% proven, but highly likely). Qrow is a teacher. He specifically 'took (Ruby) under his wing' to train her as a scythe-wielder, but that doesn't necesarilly mean he teaches a bunch of fighting styles. And, as you stated there's the hole about the teacher/WF double life thing. The other hole it might run into is age, though telling anyone's age in RWBY is a guessing game itself. I don't quite like the styles due to siblings, but could see them both giving up their usual styles to learn a new one under the same teacher (maybe Ozpin).

If Raven is Yang's mother than Yang is half Faunus. Monty had said that half Faunus are possible and we may have already come across some. This makes Qrow Yang's uncle (her father, Taiyang's, brother in-law).

Adam and Yang have very similar semblances (if the moonslice thing was his semblance) where they essentially redirect energy and use it to their advantage. Semblances are likely to run in families. Not buying the Raven is a faunus bit yet, but if she is then sure. For the semblance... eh. We haven't seen or are unsure what Raven's semblance is and the same goes for Taiyang. Qrow is the uncle who has less relation to Yang, so it's less likely they'd have similar semblances unless we're talking like recessive genes.

 * next part is speculation with no evidence some of this I came up with from the ideas posted above by Spiegelmeister

17 years ago Raven leaves Taiyang and Yang to go undercover. Two years go by and there is no word from Raven. Ozpin then sends Qrow in. However to get into the White Fangs higher ups he must kill a huntsman/huntress. Summer sacrifices herself (maybe shes not dead but because she has to appear dead, she cannot return to her family) so that Qrow is able to infiltrate the White Fang "inner circle" Maybe, though it certainly seems like she's dead dead.

Yet on the chalkboard Yang draws the same symbol except that it is mirrored. This is likely Ravens symbol and the reason that she went into the woods. She knew that her uncle Qrow had a symbol that was almost identical to her mothers, and she believed that he would have answers for her. Not sure if it's Raven's symbol. I feel like it jives with the Norse poem combining Qrow's scythe, Raven's 'wings' and Ozpin's gears to show they are working together. It certainly led to Qrow, and I don't think it's coincidence he happened to 'show up' exactly at the right time.

In the first episode of the second season we see that Blake has doodled what appears to be a drawing of her partner Adam. Yang walks up and before anyone can see, Blake closes the book. Yang did not see the image of Adam and therefore never knew that that is who Blake is talking about.

Likewise when Yang tells Blake about her uncle Qrow there is no description of what he looks like so neither of them have the evidence to conclude that they likely knows the same person. Taking a closer look at this shot, it details her days in the WF before it turned violent. You'll notice the WF symbol is lacking the 3 claw marks, that Adam seems to only have tulips on his back, and the rose is not wilting, and much closer to the look of scatter.... interesting.
