But to leave his bastard with a woman he just married doesn't seem like Sasuke to me. Also when has he EVER shown even the least bit of positive emotion towards Karin? I know I can't think of any. And she probably could be granted asylum in Konohagakure, I mean Sasuke, a guy who did WAY worse stuff then she ever did was given a full pardon. For me it just seems WAY out of character for Sasuke. There could be several reasons to why he did that. And honestly, it seems very much like Sasuke to do so too.

You're wrong with that assumption. He hasn't shown more affection for Sakura than he has shown for Karin. In his Part I state, he protected both Karin and Sakura and saved them. In the beginning of Part II, he thanked Karin like he thanked Sakura, he didn't want her to get hurt and opened the door to Jugo's cell instead of her, like he also cared for Sakura and he risked his life to save Karin although Juugo strongly suggested not to do so, which he has also done for Sakura. He also tried to kill both of them. All those things have nothing to do with romantic feelings. He has shown the two women an equal amount of affection. Except of course at the time the war ended, where he treated Sakura nicely again because he changed. BUT no one knows how he treated Karin this point. Maybe he would have treated her nicely too. He never treated one better than the other though. He showed no romantic feelings for either Karin or Sakura. All right he saved Karin in Part I all right but he saved Karin in Part I because he thought she might have had the scroll he needed, he didn't do it because he cared for her. He also didn't show any signs of affection. Yes he saved her from opening Jugo's cell but I think it's because he felt he needed her as a tool to find Itachi, she's no use to him dead (or at least at that point in time). And I'm sorry but I don't think he showed Karin NEARLY as much affection towards Karin as he did Sakura. In fact has he so much as smiled affectionately at her? I know he smiled when he first saved her in Part I but it didn't look affectionate. Also after the events of Sakura Hiden It seems he cared deeply for Sakura. Also if he loves Karin and had a kid with her than why didn't he marry her? To me it doesn't add up. Also it looks like Orochimaru didn't know that Sasuke had a kid, you would think that, as Karin works for him, that he would know she was A) pregnant at one point and B) it was Sasuke's kid.
