Looking back over his behavior regarding Sasuke, it comes across to me a bit as trying to find a successor to pass his 'will' on to, just like the will of fire is going down to Naruto and co -- he keeps testing and pushing Sasuke to both insure that they share similar attitudes and that he is 'worthy' of being Madara's successor. Just a though, but an interesting one I think.
