The biggest hint that Raven might be a Faunus is the fact that when asked about a possible Faunus-human hybrid, Monty said we might have already seen one. If Raven is a Faunus then perhaps Yang is the hybrid we have already seen. Mind you, they made a similar statement when asked about second-year students and it turned out that Velvet was a second-year. So, when they say we may have already seen a Faunus-human hybrid then it probably means there is one among the cast at that time. Raven being Yang's mom and seemingly affiliated with the White Fang would be consistent with that theory.

Well we wouldn't know who though by looking. Raven could easily be the Human-Faunus. If a Faunus and Human breed it has a chance of creating either a Human or a Faunus. So we really can't tell. I have a feeling if Raven has any sympathies to the Faunus it'd be because one of her parents (the one that raised her) was one and she went to the White Fang (while it was still peaceful) to help out.
