Something just occurred to me. Qrow came to Beacon to swap intel with Ozpin and watch the Vytel festival. I don't know about the previous rounds but at the very least he should have been watching the round that his niece was involved in Yang Vs Mercury. So why didn't he recognize Mercury, they fought during that stuff with the Fall Maiden and even Mercury was worried that Qrow would recognize him when he saw Qrow fighting Winter. Why didn't Qrow raise the alarm.

He saw Mercury for a split second in that fight before Cinder and the gang ran away. I know I wouldn't notice the similarities.
