I don't mind. This seems to be one of IS' ways to try to sell the Nohr version to Awakening fans, by having some fan favorites return in nearly everything but name. This is a more extreme version of the old archetypes, (such as the red and green cavaliers, or a solid mercenary who joins in the early game, etc) and while I don't mind for this game, this shouldn't become a trend. Helps that IMO Severa, Inigo, and Owain had the best designs out of the gen 2 characters in Awakening.
