I like this. The alternative "3edgy5me" interpretation:

Ozpin is chaos, since humans are free-willed and often fight and inflict pain and misery on each other (e.g. the Great War, oppression of the Faunus, etc.).

Salem is order, since the Grimm lack souls and any free-will. They could represent an alternative form of life which is able to actually live in harmony.

This doesn't fit exactly of course, it might be more correct to say that Ozpin attempts to bring order to an inherently chaotic system (stopping free-willed humans from being bastards), while Salem simply wishes to remove free-will from the equation entirely.
