That Korean 815 survivor guy! He was the dude we rescued when we were coming ashore!"

Danielle doesn't know who Jin is in the future because she had not yet met him in her past. By the time she meets him in her past, she is dead in the future.
The time paradox thing works both forwards and backwards.
Desmond wakes up suddenly three years after he is off the island and remembers something Faraday told him months before he left. The meeting hadn't happened yet when Faraday first meets Desmond when Faraday gets to the island.
It is like even though all the backwards and forwards is presently going on, in the big picture, time, or whatever you want to call it, (the collective consciousness?) is still moving forward.
