Any leader who is also a decent human being will be racked with guilt about the people who were lost to their errors. Maybe Cinder was a part of one of Ozpins mistakes and takes what happened personally. Although, Cinder seemed to make a point of not being at the dance when Gen. Ironwood was there. Was Ozpin still there when she showed up to slow dance with Mercury? If she was a former huntress who trained under Ozpin, he ought to recognize her if he saw her. As would Goodwitch, Oobleck and Port. Maybe she's really after Ironwood. Definitely a possibility. I would be suprised if she doesn't have a vendetta against someone.

I rewatched that little bit, I don't see Glynda or Ozpin after Ironwood leaves the party. And Mercury only  notes Ironwood as leaving, so It's guessable that they're still in the ballroom. It's easily presumable that they'd at least be called away shortly after the incident, they probably wouldn't even be looking at the students. Though even if they left, it's probable that Port and Oobleck were there as Chaperones to the whole thing, and would have stayed the whole night.

The thing that makes me doubt anyone from Beacon knows Cinder is how she freely walks about. Down the hall of the dorms, into the dance, She even wears her normal outfit when the three of them show up in the last episode. Something to note though, is after she tells Mercury and Emerald to go help you never see her again. (until after the whole event.)

I would say it's more likely (off of what we have now) that the odds are greater she's related to Ironwood more than Ozpin, she's awefully arrogant (which isn't too unbelievable) if she does have relations to Beacon.
