This is awesome, and I think it might end up being my head-canon too, because it makes so much more sense than anything canon has supplied. :)

It would also go a long way toward explaining how someone that potentially fucked in the head ended up coming out more or less functionally sane (at least for a shinobi) for someone of that generation, especially for someone who was promoted so young. A not-just-horrifying childhood would go a long way toward giving him ballast, so to speak. And the idea of him not being in the orphanage (and therefore not in Danzo's grasp) is something I hadn't considered before, but it really rings true.

Yay, head-canon.

Yeah, I know a lot of people tend to give him a darker childhood, have him like raised in ANBU as a ward of the state or some-such, almost like a prisoner, kept a secret and all. But it's hard for me to see a past like that resulting in the man he is. And the bit about Danzou and orphanage kids in Kabuto's backstory made me think - if it's that easy for him, he shouldn't have had any trouble getting his hands on Yamato, unless Yamato wasn't readily available in any orphanage. So it all just kind of makes more sense to me this way, yeah. ^_^
