... the sound of feathers heard when Qrow appears to save Yang and Ruby is important. They even said that these birds were actually crows. Maybe that's why Qrow knows a lot of things that even Ozpin is not aware of and why he works as Ozpin's spy, maybe Qrow's semblance has something to do with the ability to use crows (his symbol is literally the eye of a bird) or even transform into a crow himself. The Huginn Muninn theory brings another angle to this... what if Ozpin can use Qrow as another set of eyes from a shapeshifted form? It could explain why he seemed distant at parts in the beginning as dealing with two sets of visions would keep him busy. That damn crow is in almost every trailer, and even shows up when they are dropping into the Emerald forest. Remember "Birdy! Noooo!" ? Perhaps he wanted to use Qrow to get a better look at the new students to find/gague the 'smaller, more honest soul' that seems to be the key to his victory.
