It is programmed to protect the Weiss family mansion (the White Castle). However, for reasons that (in universe) are unknown, it malfuctioned and tried to kill Weiss one night when she was walking the halls, trying to clear her head. Fortunately, she had Myrtenaster with her and the training her private tutors had given her were enough for her to protect her life.

During the show, we're going to find out that the Giant Armour was reprogrammed, either by the Big Bad or by one of his/her agents, to kill Weiss. The reason why is because she's one of the prophecied Four who would prevent the Dark from gaining ascendency.

This is a guess, but I'm thinking that the lyrics of Red Like Roses is the first stanza of the prophecy. I disagree with your theory about the Giant Armor being a mechanical construct--I always thought it was a suit of armor either possessed by a Grim or animated by Dust. Other than that, I agree with your theory about the Armor's function as a combination bodyguard and estate security force.

As to your theory about the "Red like Roses" lyrics, that sounds uncannily accurate, but also obvious now that I think about it. I half congratulate you on your interpretation, and half envy you that I didn't think of it beforehand.
