Someone is probably gonna die but I doubt it'll be a member of Team RWBY, if only because the show itself is called RWBY - at least if someone dies, it'll be at the very end. Probably. Maybe.

Also, with Ozpin's "I've made more mistakes" speech in Episode 10, which is a very obvious case of foreshadowing, I think he might know about and/or have had something to do with the death of Summer Rose, who I'm 90% sure is Ruby's mother. That explains why he's kind of protective of her.

Remember in Episode 1 when Ozpin told Ruby she had the same eyes as Qrow? That only makes sense if Ruby and Qrow are blood relatives; he could be her uncle on either side, but for some reason I think it's more likely he's her mother's brother, if both of them were hunters.

I agree with whoever up there said Ruby's father may have married Yang's mother after Summer's death; it just makes sense. Then we'd have the question of what happened to Yang's father...strangely enough, I've seen no speculation whatsoever on Yang's past.

One more thing: it's common knowledge that the inscription on Summer Rose's altar ("Thus Kindly I Scatter") is a quote from the poem "Last Rose of Summer." However, in the Purcell's opera Dido & Aeneas, when the queen Dido tragically commits suicide, the chorus sings:

"With drooping wings, ye cupids come

And scatter roses on her grave

Soft, soft and gentle on her heart

Keep here your watch, and never part"
