There's a flashback to Yamato's past where Kakashi runs into Orochimaru (and he has the sharingan). But it raises the question of whether Orochimaru knew that at the time (i doubt Kakashi gained fame as Kakashi of the Sharingan THAT fast, considering he killed every enemy he came across for a long time) or that Orochimaru just forgot, as his main concern at the time was the fact that he had Hiruzen breathing down his neck and not that a kid in front of him had a weird eye.
