I don't think Sasuke hated Sakura, he just found her annoying due to her immaturity and appearing weak. Remember, before he left, he was willing to risk his life for her, so he obviously cared enough for her that he put her life above his. But in Part 2, he seemed to be immune to emotions until he made up with naruto and was able to acknowledge his feelings for her. And once he was willing to give their relationship a chance in order to make amends with her, he really did fall in love with her. In other words, he always had deep feelings for her but tried to sever them but at the end he couldn't and gave in to them.
