1. SYUTK pretty much covered that. There's also the fact that WoR: Aura said this: "However, what sets true warriors apart from all others is their ability to amplify and control their Aura." Meaning that Aura is great and all, unless you haven't learned how to amplify and control it. Hell, Pyrrha said that Jaune has a lot of Aura, but he has repeatedly gotten his ass kicked and his Aura cut down because he hasn't had as much training with controlling his Aura as the others have.

That's what makes the WF mooks and Junior's henchmen different: Yes, they have Aura, but they don't have Huntsman-level training with controlling and amplifying their Aura.

You wanna know the sucky thing? WoR: Aura is DVD/Blu-ray exclusive. Boooo.

4. Indeed, to be fair to you, it was said in a pre-Volume 3 Q&A, which is info that can easily be missed. Hopefully, in Volume 5, they'll mention that Semblance uses Aura as fuel, considering MK said that Volume 5 will attempt to explain Semblances better.

I get the feeling that another reason behind having Aura exist in RWBY is because animating someone getting injuries and having their clothes get cut up in 3D animation takes more effort.
