I think the young Other woman who escorted Faraday to the bombsite is in fact his mother, but more importantly, Mrs. Hawkins! That would explain Faraday's line about her looking familiar. I think when Desmond visits her, we'll see a family photo confirming it.
I wonder how many generations the Others go back on the Island? Their use of Latin tells me they could go back at least to the Black Rock. Perhaps they were the ones who displaced the three toed statue natives; assuming they aren't actually descended from them.
One more crackpot unfounded theory: Now that Time travel is in play, I think Jacob isn't a ghost or spirit, but a man who is "out of phase" with the time frame of the island. How or why, I have no idea.
