I agree with the guys and gals on TV Tropes who suggest that Jaune is, at least in part, a Watson: a less-knowledgable character who can therefore ask obvious questions in our stead such as "What is Aura?" and the like.

However, I also think that he fits into the entire Team RWBYJNPR 'Misfit Squad' in many ways. None of them are really what you'd expect of a cadet Hunter or Huntress and I think that everyone is going ot be surprised just how good they are working together. I've long categorised Jaune as being a Paladin-class (lawful/good alignment), so I imagine his main role will be to be the spoiler or joker in the pack at a critical moment when the girls need one.
