That's pretty much along the same line that I was thinking.

It really was odd how Tai changed his attitude while talking to Ruby. At first, he's openly talking on and on about the situation and what she did, but then when she makes it clear to him that she doesn't remember what she did, he suddenly backs up and goes "That's not important right now." Like, when he thought she remembered, he figured "Well, the secret's out, I guess", but then he found out she didn't remember and was like "Shit, she still doesn't know. Um, you know what, that's not important, let's not talk about that."

I think it's entirely possible that things ended up going like this...


 * Ozpin ended up recruiting Summer to go on dangerous secret missions for him, using her Silver Eye powers. Maybe Qrow helped Ozpin recruit her?


 * Summer was on one such mission when she disappeared or died.


 * Tai blames Ozpin and perhaps Qrow.


 * Tai didn't want Ruby to know about her Silver Eye powers because he knew she would do the same thing Summer did. Ruby said "If I'm so special, then I can help, right?" Probably the same attitude Summer had, if they're anything alike. He knew that if she found out about her powers, she'd want to go use them to help people.


 * Qrow told her about her powers and dropped a hint "Besides, our enemy's trail leads all the way to Haven. That's quite a journey for a pipsqueak like you. *Winks*" And guess what? She left on a dangerous journey.

So, if we're anywhere close to canon, then it might be reeeally interesting if Tai and Qrow run into each other.
