When Light's father was in deathbed, he looked at Light and confirmed that
Light wasn't Kira by his Shinigami eyes since he was able to see his death
date.

The only way his death date can become visible is if he doesn't have ownership
of a death note with him at the current moment. If Light did not have any
deathnote with him at that point, how he was able to keep his memory? And if
he had a death note with him, why was his death date visible to his father?

question
death-note
How did Light went unnoticed by his dad?


it was because Light didn't own the Death Note that was on his body, concealed
by his clothing.

When the Kira Task Force got the Death Note from the New Kira in the Yotsuba
Group, when Light touched the Death Note his memories returned however Kyosuke
Higuchi was still alive and had ownership of the Death Note. with his restored
memories Light remembered the details of his plan and used the scrap of the
Death Note in his watch to kill him

paragraph)](http://deathnote.wikia.com/wiki/Kyosuke_Higuchi#Appearance)

as he was holding the Death Note when Higuchi died Light became it's owner.
After this Light gave up ownership of the Death Note but kept it on his body
so he could retain his memories

So for one to have their memories from their ownership of a Death Note they
don't need to be the book's owner, they just need to be physically touching
it.
