So, I'll take a quote from the ep.14 thread

could it be that the "awakened" Okarin sometime in the future managed to make a time-leap machine that can be used to send memories even further than the one we currently have?
So this Okarin sent his memories to his kid self, but the transfer wasn't perfect (maybe because he's still a kid) so only his Reading Steiner and few bits of unconscious knowledge that got transferred.
in the VN, Okarin was shot in the arm prior to his first time-leap. It was in the same spot where Okarin often say there's an evil seal (which he asked Ruka to exorcise). It may be a red-herring, since it's said he switched the evil-sealed arm often, but it coincides real well. It could be the aftereffects of being shot in the arm left a lingering impression in him and it got transferred when he did the time-leap.
