Hmm... I agree with you when it comes to not being able to see Donato having a sexual relationship.... I would actually be in sheer shock if it actually turns out Hide is Donut's son. I... just can't see that.

As for the resemblance... hmm, wikipedia says facial expressions between people enhace trustworthiness? (If someone can explain this, that would be great!) ... So there could be a possibility Hide and Donato have a relationship based on trust? What if before Kaneki met Hide, Donato took Hide under his wing and taught him the things he knew? I mean, Donato has proven to be very intelligent (he's been a prisoner in Cochlea for what I think 10+ years and was still able to give helpful information to the CCG), he has keen observation skills  (he looked at Akira once, and concluded she is Mado's daughter) and maybe he's even manipulative. Hide seems to have these kinds of qualities, and I don't think he was born with those qualities, but rather he learned them and even perfected them throughout the years (his perception to his surroundings especially). And for me, Donato seems like the suitable character to be a mentor/ father figure (?) for Hide (I know, this sounds slightly disturbing...)

There's also the Donato - Hannibal Lecter parallel and the Red Dragon poster that was in Hide's room. Possibly a concidence, with Hide being a Hannibal Lecter fan, or Hide made a reference to Donato. Hide also mentioned to Eto that he enjoyed the story about the prisoner 182 (the one who claimed humans looked like candy to him; Kaneki made a reference to this guy, comparing him to a ghoul). Well, we don't really know that guy's story, but what if that was also a reference to Donato as well? Then what would that mean? That Hide knew Donato is a ghoul and was fascinated with him? Or maybe even liked him? And Donato might've liked him as well? I mean, Hide wasn't eaten before he met Kaneki xD and I don't really see Donato taking anyone under his wing and teach such skills (I doubt he taught Amon about manipulation, heck he was supposed to be the nice fatherly figure priest!), so Hide might be an exception...

As for Amon not recognising Hide from the orphanage... well, 1) we haven't seen a lot about his life at the orphange; just his relationship between him and Donut, not with other kids

2) it's been such a long time since he saw Hide during the time and well... puberty hit Hide (like a truck) and Hide might be looking different compared to the time at the orphanage. Maybe he actually had just dark brown hair and didn't dye it blond since elementary!!!

3) the crackiest theory: Donato hid Hide in a closet so no other kids would see (his stunning beauty) him for reasons unknown

Argh, I turned out to write a whole composition about this crack theory. I just really want to see an interaction between them. It would be entertaining (seeing them smirking creepily at each other) !
