Interesting topic. I think Sasuke is Orochimaru's legacy. Perhaps he has given up on the idea of getting his body and hopes that Sasuke will be the one to uncover the secrets of chakra instead of himself.

Maybe I'm just naive tho, but it would appear that even tho Orochimaru was originally interested only in Sasuke's body, his mind has grown up on him as well as of late.
