This episode clearly defines Professor Port as a person who enjoys killing Grimm, and the stronger the foe the better (so he can boast his prowess). In the Remnant society this maybe normal, but I'm defining him by our real world standards at the moment.

Next. Finally there's a solid reason why Ironwood was tempted to betray Ozpin. Many people still refuses to believe it, but it's been said so repeatedly in Afterbuzz (Linday's interview particular). It has been hinted in NYCC interview recently that we have seen a hybrid human/Grimm, and the obvious suspects are Adam and Cinder. But Ozpin himself is a possibilty, especially when you take his unusually long age into question.

So if Ironwood is given enough reason to suspect that Ozpin had turned Grimm somehow, and that his inactivity thus far are seen as evidence... Yes. This is a solid motive in my opinion. Ironwood will do what is necessary to protect humanity, even if it's going against the man he respected the most. I think you're forgetting a serious possibility (plot twist material): Ruby
