I think adding HC to ROTJ Is actually a wise thing to do. A jedi dies when s/he falls to the darkside, and Anakins body was pretty messed up after Obi-Wan gave him the fight of his life. I think that it makes better sense to have HC as Anakin in ROTJ.
However, not everyone agrees with that (including myself). To me, the whole point of ROTJ was that Vader finally realised that he was wrong (after over 20 years of his Sith life) and was redeemed by Luke Skywalker. That's the climax of the saga. To say that Anakin died in Ep. III and it's not possible for him to come back is a very depressing thought. It also doesn't make sense. I am thoroughly convinced that Vader saw the light in ROTJ. He asked Luke to lift his mask so that he could gaze upon him with his own eyes. That's symbolic- Vader's mask came off; therefore Anakin has turned back to the light side. It makes complete and total sense and there was absolutely no need to botch it.
You also have to wonder why, in the 2004 DVD's, Luke doesn't wonder who the teenager is that's standing next to Ben and Yoda. In the original version, he smiles (recognizing all of them). But if I were him, I would wonder who that kid was now.
