Mercury called Emerald a master theif, and being able to impersonate other people would really help earn that title. Changing their perceptions so they don't feel your hand swiping their cash would be useful as well.

Qrow states to Yang and Rubes that he's seen Huntsman that have probably been hired by 'less than savory' people. Sure he says it as a set up for a joke, but even the fact he can so causually state it and the girls don't call him out on it worries me. Will at later points we see Team RWBY attacked by Hunters working for criminals? I kind of figured this was the case (remember Adam seems to be a huntsman). It wouldn't suprise me at all if that was the case. It also strengthens my point that I'm pretty sure everything up until the short skirts (and also probably the short skirts) all happened while he was out on his mission.

@Diego and Phantom

Notice it happens around the time the effect goes to 'past' filter. (all yellow, like an old picture/movie) Something tells me a time travelling Ozpin or warping Raven might have something to do with a corruption in their memories that this foreshadows. (And aren't those images upside down/ reversed?)
