And we definitely know it's not a young Sniper Wolf, considering that she's not even born during the time of the game (she would have been an infant or a toddler at the latest during Saddam's attempted extermination of the Kurds, in 1987, considering that she explicitly called the screams and gunfire her lullabies. The game takes place in 1984, well before Saddam's attempted extermination.). The Wikia entry for Sniper Wolf gives her age between 1976-1985. It doesn't say specifically in her bio that she was a child during Saddam's reign. Her bio says she was alive during Iraqi-Kurdistan conflict, which occurred between 1918-2003 according to Wikipedia. It's only in the unconfirmed canon section, where it says Big Boss met her in 1991. Since it is not canon, I don't think we can rely on that info. I think it is extremely plausible that we could see Sniper Wolf in Phantom Pain, since we are already seeing Mantis, Liquid, and possibly Solid.

As for the female in the trailer, she looks a bit too much like Paz, and a little too old to be Sniper Wolf. I wouldn't rule out Kojima making Wolf older, but if she's in the game I'd rather see her around the same age as Eli and Mantis.
