2. I always found weird that Jaune has lots of Aura yet can't endure much damage unlike other characters such as Yang and Cardin but Ozpin's comment about "strengthen Oscar's Aura" makes me think you really do have to train your Aura to unleash its full potential which might involve increasing its endurance.

3. Speaking of which, what do you people think of the fact that Jaune's Aura is white like Weiss'? She's very powerful when it comes to Aura and Dust plus inherited her Semblance. Maybe he will be a similar case based on his type of Aura? Like how Pyrrha's Aura turned black when she used her polarity semblance and the gravity dust just happens to be black-colored as well. Coincidence? 1. One similarity that Ruby and Jaune had during the initiaton is that they both directed their teammates in taking down the giant Grimm they were facing. One important quality in being a leader is being able to analyze the situation, look at your teammates' skills, and quickly come up with a plan. Both Ruby and Jaune did this, and their plans resulted in success and survival.

2. World of Remnant: Aura (which is sadly DVD/Blu-ray exclusive) said that what sets warriors apart from civilians is the ability to control and amplify their Aura, so yeah, I think you're right that they have to train their Aura to unleash its full potential. Jaune just hasn't trained with his enough to adequately control it and use it at its full strength.

3. I'm not sure it's so much that Pyrrha's Aura itself turned black when she used her Semblance. Some Semblances might just have a certain color associated with them, like how anyone affected by Ren's Semblance turns gray.

I'm not sure the color of someone's Semblance has anything to do with a certain type of Aura or the strength of their Aura either. Ruby, Pyrrha, and Qrow all have red Aura. Blake and Glynda both have purple Aura. Nora and Ren both have pink Aura. Yang and Sun both have yellow Aura. Mercury also has white Aura. I think the color of Aura is just an artistic thing, rather than a technical one.
