I think Ozpin's condition is due to his semblance rather than aura. He does have grey hair though, which denotes age.

Like others said, Cinder is in one of those grey areas where she's older, but still young enough to fit in with those still at the academy. As for Raven, there's really no facial features like wrinkes to denote age in a fairly flat '2D' graphic style, which makes it harder to compare an age difference. After all, how do we percieve Glynda as being older? She's really the only other older female at this point to compare. Aside from glasses and clothing choices (arguably hairstyle as well), there's not much to pin her down as being older. Even those traits aren't necessarily related to age either. If she was slapped right in with the other students, most probably wouldn't bat an eye.

Raven's mini skirt also doesn't help much for the argument of age. The more traditional yukata, sure, but something that skimpy just wouldn't work on most 'mothers'. I'd also say something about the base character models being the same (despite scale) before any clothing/hair/accessories/visuals are added, but I'd probably be wrong.
