Hey now, lets not start bickering here... This is supposed to be an open discussion forum; "I may disagree with what it is you say, but I defend to the death your right to say it." --Voltaire

Anyway, back to topic (for the third time today on this board): I imagine that Weiss' father is alive and currently the head of the household, whether he's married, widowed, or remarried. I don't think married (first wife) is the case, because I kind of got the implication that the Schnee family is a little dysfunctional. And a first marriage just doesn't feel right for that scenario.

If he's widowed, then he had a wife that he genuinely loved and he vowed not to remarry (my theory). This makes him rather cold and brusque, but not evil. Think Tywin Lannister, or the Director from RvB. If he's remarried, then all the evil step-mother theories come into play and his second wife is the one pulling the strings at SDC.
