I am on the side that Qrow is not biologically related to Ruby in any way. He is not her father.

However, the world is not black and white. Growing up I had many women who I considered more of a mother to me than my own mother, and she was very much alive and part of my life. It is only in recent years that my mother and I can actually say we have something resembling a close relationship. It happens.

Tai shut down after Summer's death, and Ruby was pretty much raised by Yang in the aftermath. Qrow was there as well, so of course he would provide a father figure for her while Tai was dealing with his own crippling depression in the wake of Summer's death. It's got nothing to do with biology and everything to do with circumstances and Qrow simply stepping in to be a decent human being, looking after his teammates kid and his niece while their dad was unable to.
