While I believe Orochimaru crying was genuine, I don't think that changes anything. Orochimaru was one of the only "real" villains in Naruto, he's a psychopath, he thinks of himself as a victim that was unfairly treated and relegated by his own mentor, while we all know this isn't true. Orochimaru is undoubtedly a psychopath, a cold, self-centered and cruel individual, and that's what makes him a unique and interesting character, unlike Obito and Pain who were good persons, but made themselves "evil", and ultimately died regretting their acts and redeeming themselves.
