Okay....so here is an idea.

Many critics of "The Wizard of Oz" point out that Oz has many narcasitic personailty traits displayed in both the movie and book, being that he changes his appearance based on who he is addressing. He has many "faces" if you will, and in the end he isn't a wizard at all. So we have two "wizards" in the movie:

1. The fantasy wizard: The great and almighty hero that Dorothy and her gang wish to meet for more than half the film

2. The reality: The con man who ultimaely is the real Oz; he only wants to stay in power and changes his "face" with illusions to seek public approval

So, my theory is that Ozpin and Oscar make light of this fantasy vs. real persona.

Ozpin =  the con man (to a degree); his only major goal is to one-up Salem; he is confident to a fault and takes action because of this goal

Oscar = the fantasy hero; a small, more "honest soul," he cares for the little things in life and can become easily entrapped with the idea of becoming a hero

My sources? The fact that Cinder called Ozpin arrogant in their fight as well as the fact the Oscar seeks something "other than life as a farm boy in Mistral." I'm calling it!

In addition, I'd be willing to assume both souls don't occupy a single body indefinetly. Oscar seemed quite surprised to hear Ozpin's voice. Rather, Oz uses his semblance of time to know when to let one soul "cross to the other side." Meaning he can foresee his own death and when the best time to reincarnate arises.
