I have a feeling Arima is the only human working for the V organisation, which would help explain why he's so special.

If Houji is a V member, then I still don't think Kureo was. It would seem more likely to me that Houji/Arima were placed under Kureo's teaching so they could learn how to use the quinque's more efficiently, while Kureo was oblivious to what was going on behind the scenes.

Kureo and Shinohara are definitely not aligned with V, you can tell just from their characterization.
