I made sure to mention Winter first, and i hardly think you can spin her support for Weiss as anything other than emotional. Yes, I'll concede Weiss has the support of Winter. But I've already pointed out that she does not have the support of her father, and currently that's a pretty big part of her character.

Why did they not unlocked his aura before letting him go to Beacon, why did they not send him to a primary academy like Signal when he first expressed interest in becoming a huntsman, and why did they let him go to Beacon with no formal training whatsoever?

That’s not support, that’s disinterest or even neglect, and Jaune knows that. It’s probably why he self deprecates himself so badly. I can't answer any of those questions because we haven't been given the answers in the plot. However, neither can you. Saying that he didn't know about aura or go to a combat school because his parents neglected him is an inference. I don't think that's the only explanation, nor do I believe there has ever been any evidence whatsoever (aside from your inference) that Jaune has anything but a positive relationship with his parents. To say that Jaune is being neglected by his parents simply on the basis that he wasn't trained to be a huntsman sounds very off to me.
