That´s an interesting hypotesis. I thought something similar after watching the last episode today, xD. It can be way to possible, because, if we believe in both Ruby and Yang, that means Summer goes to a mission and never came back, so everybody believed she was dead. From here on, the Summer's grave is a cenotaph, a grave without a burried body.

That is the first point, but let's look deep in the Volume 3 final episode: The Silver-eyed Warriors. Ruby inherited this peculiar eye color from her Mother. Yes, we don't know what they really are, I mean, they powers. But, if they can freeze a Dragon-grimm, that means they are extremelly powerful. So, using this and that Salem is a parasite-grimm species, possibly she was looking to live in this people because of they power, the silver eyes. Summer had them, so... Why not?

And, point three, and this is more about the mythic and lore and meaning of the characters: The Color Naming Rule. And why? Think about the characters. I read a comment posted on YT in the last episode. Was something like "Summer will fall, and Winter will rise". The Four Seasons, yes. So, Summer already fell when she die. Now, the enemy is Cinder, Cinder Fall. Maybe Salem will take her body? Possibly. She is worst than Cinder, apparently, so, can happen. So, when Cinder fall, Winter raise, right? And what happen after Winter? Yes, it comes Spring. Winter falls, and Spring rises. Maybe RWBY is kinda an allegory about the Cicle of the Four Seasons. And, what is Spring? Well, Ruby. Ruby is Spring, that's why the Roses. Yang is Summer, for that she is "hotter than sun in the middle of july", Blake is Fall, because she's the  quite-and-silence-type of person? And, Weiss is Winter, because, well, obvious things, hahaha.

Also, guys, think that the Remnant people is in the middle of Winter, metaphorically speaking. They are living a moment of complete desolation, when hope is death and anything can grow. But, time passes and one day, Winter ends and Spring starts.

So, my theory, in resumen, is that Salem is a body-jumper, took Summer body because of her eyes powers and the only one that can stop her is Ruby, because she is has the Silver-eyes (and because she is the main protagonist, hehehe, xD)
