My theory: The golems are big knights powered by Dust and/or Aura that serve the Schnee family, possibly as bodyguards. The "royal test" that burdened "White" was probably her final test before getting into becoming a huntress. After all, she was first to realise that she's capable of fighting, she just needed a confirmation of her skills.
