Zolnir it could be that the reference to wanting bunk beds was stemming from her desire to have a sibling, her want or need to have a little sister so she can play the role of Yang and have her own Ruby to love unconditionally.

As for her having a deceased older brother, it would go along way to explaining WHY Weiss is either being pushed to perfection or has a self-obsession with becoming perfect. Perhaps she viewed her own brother as perfect, and once he died she realised that she was now the heiress, that she now had to fill his shoes. Alternatively her father, being proud of his son's capabilities may have pushed Weiss harder and further than ever following his demise. Another thing is that IF Weiss had a brother that has died or been killed then you could begin theorising as to Faunus involvement in the death which could give Mr. Schnee a reason to ship his daughter off to Beacon.

Also back to my first point, it's possible that (if he actually did exist) he died when she was much younger and yet it may have been labelled "inappropriate" due to age, gender or family values* for Weiss and him to have bunk beds. Her experiences with her deceased brother may have stimulated desire to have a younger sibling of her own and as such her desire to share a room with them through the medium of bunk beds.


 * They could have seen Weiss and her brother's sharing a room as a sign of weakness since it could be misconstrued as Weiss desiring comfort and reassurance with her brother's presence in the same room during her sleep.
