We had people insisting that Jaune was going to become a Maiden, despite the fact that we had an entire scene dedicated to exposition about the Maidens, wherein they said that males cannot become Maidens - never have, never will. If a Maiden's last thought is of a guy, the powers go to a random young female somewhere in the world. There are still people who don't get the picture, even though it was reiterated in A Much Needed Talk that "Only young females can be Maidens, okay? They have to be female."

We also had people insisting that Ruby is the Winter Maiden, even though Qrow outright said her powers come from a different legend about Silver-Eyed Warriors and he had no reason to lie. I think there are still people who don't get the picture even though, in A Much Needed Talk, Qrow told them all about the Maidens, and then Ruby asked "So why are they after me?" and he says it's because of her silver eyes. He still has no reason to lie, and if she was a Maiden, he would've been all "It's because you're one of those Maidens I told you guys about. Keep up, pipsqueak." Point is, aside from the stupid ones and some of the five-year-olds, most people watching this would pretty much nail Blake as a Faunus and White Fang member without hesitation the moment those ideas were introduced if it were blindingly obvious that Adam had horns. So, maybe his horns were done that way to deliberately obfuscate this aspect of the story until they could flesh it out in the actual series.
