Hazel and Gretchen = Hanzel and Gretel

So Gretchen died in a training mission? So in the original Hanzel and Gretel story, Hanzel was killed by the witch and Gretel lived.

Now i have a crazy theory. What if the person who killed Gretchen was Salem (Yes she's the Wicked Witch of the West, but still, based on a witch all the same). She intentionally sent Grimm after her to try and get Hazel to hate Ozpin for letting her get killed. Maybe she knew what Hazel could do and killed his sister in a manner that would get Ozpin blamed, so she could get him on her side. Maybe the exact same happened with Summer. Salem could sense Ruby's potential and did got Summer killed, hoping Ozpin would be blamed, so she could get Ruby on her side.

Oh man....a Dark Ruby arc would be interesting!
