Now, this may not be much but it may be something. People have thought in the past that Salem and Oz used to work with each other; that they were partners or lovers or something before events lead to them being enemies. My idea is a bit different. I believe that Ozpin is very  old and his semblence is somehow temporal based; evidenced by his clock tower motif, his lines about making more mistakes then anyone else alive implying having lived a long time, and the fact that his Staff could be symbolic of keys used to wind clocks, evidenced by the little handle attachment on the hilt. What I believe is that Oz and Salem are or used to be the same person. Remember the book that Blake was reading in season 1 about "A man with two souls, each one fighting for control over his body". As Pyrrha showed with the "fairy tale" of the 4 sisters, after awhile in the world of Remnant, fact becomes fiction to the general public. This would also explain the conversation between the two of them in the opening of Volume 1 where they were having the inner conversation which could very well have been one inside their head. The Series holds the soul in the highest of regards as the soul is the source of Aura, the potencial reason behind semblences, and as we have heard many times "victory is in a simple soul." Now I don't know the methods that led to the seperation and there is still so much guess work to be made about the series, but the idea that they two of them were once one being seems plausible to me.
