If Ozpin is based on the wizard of Oz, then the characters around him are based on this tale too, right ?

Ozpin = Oz, Glinda = the good witch, Ironwood = Tin man, Qrow = Scarecrow

What about the Cowardly Lion ? Maybe he will apear as a faunus sooner or later ? It is also possible to have a Dorothy-themed character and a wicked witch...

I also found out that the silver shoes and the Emerald City are depicted with Mercury and Emerald, and I'm pretty sure the reference can continue if we look closely
