Im leaning towards Ruby's dad marrying Yang's mom.

When Rwby comments that Yang sounds like dad, she's specifying a single parent who's more likely than not to be her biological father since sometimes a child avoids calling their non-biological mom or dad.

Ruby's tone also suggest that her father has lectured her many times to get her to open up to others, this could be because after she lost her mother(Which I beleive is the White Cloaked figure who rest at the cliffside altar and was a huntress herself) she became extremely depressed and withdrawn, redlike roses part 2 stated the emptyness and sadness that came to replace her lossed love one.

Then after her dad and Yangs mom got remaried, Yang's personality, persistance, and doting (doting evidence: reading her books every night like a parent, the crushing hugs she gives ruby in episodes 1 and 8) got Ruby to be happy and start acting like she does now.

When you think about it, with the way Yang can dote on ruby sometimes, it wouldn't surprise me if Yang had been adopted by both of Ruby's biological parents and after the mother died she stepped up and became like a second mother for Ruby kind of like in Bleach how after Ichigo mother died his sister Yuzu took up the housework, or what Nekane Springfield did for her little brother in the Negima series.
