Or Orochimaru genuinely wanted to experience parenthood and wanted to have a heir for just in case reasons.. I mean he had 2 close calls where if not for Sasuke he would not have ever come back. He is still an experimenter and researcher, but I doubt that he doesn't love his son.. otherwise he would not have sent him to Konoha to live there, make friends and enter the academy. I believe for once Orochimaru isn't being selfish and he really wants a different, better life for his son.
