Point 8. The Schnee's semblance is hereditary, and the only thing we know of that is hereditary in RWBY besides this, is the silver-eyed power. Perhaps the Schnee's have a natural ability to use theirs and it is not a semblance at all. And as we've seen Ozpin move as fast as Ruby with only Aura, it can be concluded that it is actually just Aura being Ruby's "semblance" meaning perhaps Silver-eyed warriors have no semblance, but each line of silver-eyed warriors have different powers, with the Schnee's having Glyphs, and the Rose's having an unknown set of powers. So basically you're saying that the Schnees have completely different powers to the silver eyed warriors, they don't have silver eyes (as we have just established) and they are from a different "line"? Dude, it sounds to me like maybe they're completely different and unrelated powers!

Also, Ruby's Semblance is definitely speed. It's been stated explicitly in the show that her Semblance is speed, and we have 0 reason to believe that was a misdirection. We know Semblances can be similar (Neo and Emerald both mess with perception; Sun, Blake and Flynt all make clones) so Ozpin's Semblance could simply have a similar effect to Ruby's Semblance. But to draw the conclusion that Ruby doesn't have a Semblance is ridiculous.

The idea of the Schnees being disgraced is that for some reason, they use methods to hide their silver-eyedness from the people of the world (perhaps by contacts or dust). It would also make sense to why Mr. President Schnee doesn't want his daughters to be warriors, with it possibly exposing the Schnee's lack of defense of the world. Wait, President Schnee doesn't want his daughters to be warriors!?! He literally gave Weiss private combat lessons when she lived in Atlas!

Also, why would the Schnees be disgraced for hiding it? Nobody even knows about them except a select few. Hell, Ruby walks around openly with Silver Eyes and nobody takes any note except Ozpin.
