The unused intro is still in storyboard form, but it's an easter egg on the RWBY DVD. Someone posted it on youtube here.

When I said "put her through rough training" I meant that (I think) he gave her challanges beyond her skill level or at the very maximum of what she could do, ex. fighting 30 AK-130's at once when she's only ready for 10. This would serve a dual purpose: Both showing her how tough life as a Huntress would be and persuading her to abandon that lifestyle. I always thought that Mr.Schnee wanted his heiress to run the company when he died, not run around fighting monsters, and would be even cruel to get that. This is mostly speculation, but the alternate intro confirms that he was a part of her training. If the Giant Armour fight was his doing, I think that just about proves his cruelty.

As for the no aura argument... I just like looking for ways to get simple answers. I understand it's not likely (It's less likely than your idea, to be honest) but it would be an easy, quick, consice answer. That's not really Monty's stlye, though, is it?

And no, the training idea doesn't go against your theory. In a way, it kind of adds more to it. It's just something to consider.

Oh, and being the first to come up with an idea doesn't make you crazy, it makes you smart. Shipping JaunexGlynda makes you crazy, and I once saw a discussion on that...
