I think it's pertinent to point out that since MGSV has been confirmed to be the "Project Ogre" that Kojima was working on for so long, and considering the fact that we're supposed to see Snake turn into a villain, a bad guy, an OGRE of sorts, the horn is actually placed there to make Snake bear more of a resemblance to an Ogre.

On the topic of Ishmael, I think strongly now that he is either a hallucination or, just throwing it out there, perhaps some other family member of Big Boss. If not his brother (who somebody mentioned had died I think?), then perhaps his father or uncle or something?
