***Long Theory, but I modified the original post to incorporate clarifications of things said to be too poorly supported in my theory so that people can jump right inside the conversation by simply reading the FIRST post here, enjoy

Aiiiiight!!! I think I'm gonna get a tan from all that flamming which is coming to me right now! xd But I'm just gonna say it for the record. I think Tobi IS Madara still! Because Kishi's twisted sense of story telling and twisted unforseen events... It's the last thing we'd expect right now... But let's talk about the facts and what leads me to think what I think:
-Madara IS DEAD, it's a fact now.
-Madara in his IWR knows about Nagato and was expected to be resurected by him. Just like Tobi said in a manga short after Nagato's death: He was supposed to use "that" jutsu for me, meaning either a heavy resurection to raise an army or a heavy resurrection spell to go seek a long gone soul.
-It seems to me that Madara in his IWR has Tobi's POV from when Nagato was a kid.
-Tobi is not human, it's a fact as well, he is obviously a white zetsu's body with its own soul. Every time he looses something (Being an arm, or an arm again...) he just reattaches it no problemo! Besides there must be a reason he is extremely close to Zetsu, and I suspect it aint Zetsu's pretty face!!!
-Tobi said he is a shelf of his former self, which could DEFINATELY BE A TOTAL BS !!! But then again if my theory hits the bullseye, it works too!
-I think Madara (The original one) gave his memories, will and "powers" to a white zetsu (but NOT his soul, cause he couldn't find a way, nor did he wanted to) which became Tobi.
*TOBI WOULD NOT BE MADARA'S SOUL. This is the kicker here!!! Madara (IF and that's ONE BIG IF) would have put all his memories into a white zetsu (Cause it seems like Zetsu's white body is THAT adaptable) which somehow makes the creation THINK that it is Madara! But it's not!!! Because in order for that creation to BE Madara, it would NEED the soul! But we already KNOW that Madara's soul WAS in that pure world cause it just got IWR summoned!
-Madara GAVE his EMS/Rinnegan (That part of it was BS to me.... but there it is lol xD) So Tobi now DEFINATELY needed another sharingan.
-Then this Tobi took Obito's remaining eye, shortly there after attacking Konoha and fight against Minato and all. Why Obito's sharingan soo important?! Because it is the only lost sharingan at the time that we know of. This is a theory, and it explains things. The how he could have gotten Obito's sharingan is simple. Zetsu, which is ground and nature, could have recovered it from beneath the rock slide. Also, there is a lot of controversy because People think Obito's eye was crushed. Well fair enough but I think that it was protected within the right socket in the skull. If the skull was crushed to, then Obito would not have been able to talk a short while after been crushed.
-Also why is it important that I still think it wasn't crushed?! Because nobody can deny the similarities between Kakashi's MS and Tobi's. An other VERY important part of this theory is when Tobi says to Kakashi about to strike him with Kamui that it would have no effect on him:
-At this stage, if the theory fits, Madara (EDIT: in the form of Tobi) still think of himself as real bad ass cause judging by what he could do in chapter 560.... (Yes though stronger than he ever was... we see all the tactics that he had.) Taking Minato out wasn't far fetched at all. But the 4th helped him realize his limits. So he started to get in less and less fights, making Akatsuki.
-After all this drama he had to retire and come back at a more prepared timing.... which allowed him to re-inforce his Sharingan collection (destruction of the Uchiha clan), allowing him to have a second sharingan against Konan.
***IMPORTANT*** Tobi was NEVER SHOWN WITH 2 SHARINGANS Until AFTER we see his Sharingan Lab.
-Note also that Tobi seems to have a LOT of knowledge, Madara's knowledge (or honest mistake.... even Minato thought it was him!) We're not talking Madara himself!!! But just somekind of souless creation of Madara, created by himself to do his biding while he is dead after giving Nagato Rinnegan.
It is extremely far fetched. It is possible though!
All right! time for comments/Flamming ! I want it all!
