And, no, they most likely are not related. Qrow's last name is Branwen, meaning he's related to Raven Branwen. It's probable that Ozpin was still headmaster at Beacon when Qrow was a student there, considering the theory that Ozpin is over 80 years old. Now, quick bullet list about that theory, in case you're wondering:


 * When Monty released an image detailing the color naming rules, the image stated that every single character follows the rule except Ozpin "for reasons."


 * Ozpin said that the color naming tradition started from a war that ended almost 80 years ago.


 * World of Remnant: Aura showed a silhouette of Ozpin when the narrator said that, with enough training, a person's Aura can make them "more than just a man." Pyrrha's reaction to Jaune's scratch healing was to state that he has a lot of Aura. With this in mind, if Ozpin's Aura has stopped his aging, it makes sense. We get wrinkles and die of old age because our body's parts start wearing out from age, so his Aura could be powerful enough to repeatedly heal him to the point where his body is continually rejuvinated instead of wearing out.


 * Glynda said to Ironwood that Ozpin has more experience than all of them.
