People thought Oscar was a Maiden because


 * 1) We saw him directly after a scene where Salem had mentioned the Spring Maiden.
 * 2) His eyes are green and yellow.
 * 3) He has big eyes, and generally, females in RWBY have big eyes. Plus, we hadn't heard him speak yet.

So, those people were hoping and theorizing that he was actually the Spring Maiden disguised as a boy to avoid being killed. When told that anime tends to have children, regardless of their sex, have large eyes, they ignored it. When it was pointed out that Whitley had large eyes when he was younger in the Schnee family painting, they still ignored it.

Honestly, I'm kinda skeptical of people's theories that "This character we just saw for the first time is totally (insert character that people are eager to see)!" unless they have some actually solid, convincing evidence. This is just because I got sick and tired of the "That's Qrow! No, that's Qrow! Wait, that's Qrow!!" theories. First it was the shopkeeper, then it was Ironwood in the Volume 2 Trailer, and then it was secretly Mercury because his hairstyle was similar to the silhouette in Burning the Candle. *Shakes her head*
