Never thought I would join a discussion about shippings but oh well, lol.

Ren and Nora... I don't know. Thing is I've always seen Ren and Nora having a Brother and Sister bond, or a very good friends type of bond, and less of a Romance bond. Yeah they seem fairly open with each other but I think it's to do with the fact they've know each other for a while now. Besides, didn't Nora herself mention during Buring the Candle that her and Ren were not 'together-together'? That said however, in The First Step, she was making comments that could suggest she was hitting on him so I don't know. It could be possible but I'm slightly apprehensive.

As for Janue and Pyrrha, there obviously seems to be something brewing between the two of them. It's clear that Pyrrha took a shine to Jaune in The Shining Beacon, Pt.2, I mean Pyrrha only spotted Jaune for a few moments and she looked interested right away. In The First Step, after Jaune was picked on by Weiss, Pyrrha went ahead and told him that he would be a great team leader, and it turns out she was correct about Jaune. I mean how many people would have thought Jaune would be useless, most people, yet Pyrrha saw beyond his silly attitude and saw he has great potential. She also saved Jaune twice and has willingly helped to train him to become a better fighter, and it was clear that she wanted to be Jaune's partner, despite telling Weiss that she planned to let fate decide who she ends up with.

After Pyrrha was left crestfallen after Jaune admitted being all out for Weiss, at the dance she admited to Jaune that he's helped her form friendships that she previously lacked because she felt isolated from those people that put her on a pedestal, and went further to say that she hoped he asked her to the dance. In fact, Pyrrha weakness in social life (before meeting Jaune) and Jaune's weakness in fighting (before being trained by Pyrrha) helps to make both of them better in those areas. That what makes them better as partners; they help complete each other, and that serves as an excellent basis to make for strong bonds between each other.

I don't know if Jaune has any Romantic feelings for Pyrrha as he did go all out for Weiss until she asked Neptune out, but that said, he's clearly very close to her and admitted to Pyrrha that he got hold of fake documents to get into Beacon (that requires a lot of trust and respect to admit such a thing). After he exploded at her and pushed her away, he knew he hurt her and suffered a guilty conscious. When threatened to be exposed for his fake transcripts by Cardin if he didn't hurt Pyrrha, he decided to risk being exposed and took a beating because he cared for his partner. He accepts Pyrrha help after he apologised to her, and looks up to her for guidence. After she was left without a date at the dance, he decided to take up the roll and went to help her out because he cares for Pyrrha and doesn't want to see her hurt.

I can see Jaune and Pyrrha being a pairing, but as for if it really get's going, it might take a while. I think it would have to be Pyrrha to start any sort of Romance between them as Jaune can be quite reluctant at some things (though there is potential Jaune might be the one to start it off), but reguardless, both are currently too reluctant to start anything serious as they wouldn't want things to become awkward and they've only known each other for just over a semester. Besides, many true Romances take time to develop into something serious. If nothing ever happens however, there are gonna be a lot of disapointed fans. Realistically, Jaune and Pyrrha are the main shipping that is likely to happen, but it will take some time I guess.
