For all we know Winter could have encouraged Weiss to study abroad and "open her mind to new ideas and methodologies" to ensure that, once all of Mr. Schnee's property is passed down to them, Weiss is an useful ally in reforming the administration.

The only reason we are assuming Winter to be Mr. Schnee 2.0 is because the opening makes it look like she has a beef with Qrow... But we don't know much about Qrow either, except that he is always there to save the day and apparently talks like Ozpin.
