Monty already said the two were blood relatives. More directly he confirmed they were also sisters. It's more likely that Yang is close to Ruby due to acting like more of a mother to her than a sister (Ruby mentions that Yang used to read her every night before bed).

Whether Summer and Ozpin were teammates is still up the air. I agree it is possible. It's also possible that the two had met at some point, or perhaps the eye colour is somewhat symbolic to Ozpin, perhaps reminding him of someone he admires, or that had perhaps particularly excelled as a huntsman/huntress (potentially Qrow).

I agree. Summer is almost certainly Ruby's mother. Debating it further won't give us any greater understanding, we've speculated it to death. Now just let it play out. If it turns out we're wrong, then we're wrong, but all evidence points to Summer being Ruby's biological mother.

Also true, but to be honest the reason they are theories is because there is no fact. Speculation is based on maybes and philosophies are some theories (including my own as to Summer, Qrow, Glynda, Cinder and Ozpin's origins) are very far-fetched, but the theories are still enjoyable to read about and speculate on, and I've found very few that are so far out of the realm of possibility that they really shouldn't have been given a second thought at all.
