Thing could have been so, easily perserved. Example of one scene following:
Anakin wakes up after having a horrible dream.
(insert the actions in episode III up to it was only a dream)
Anakin: *goes and, picks up his lightsaber*
I want him to have this. To become a jedi master.
Padme: Him? How do you know it's a boy?
Anakin: He was in my dream.
Padme: Now, how could that be a bad dream?
Anakin: There was something else... You die in childbirth.
Padme: It was only a dream.
(conversation carry on as in the movie)
The above would also take care of why he only knew of Luke and, not Leia. More would have to be done to perserve the suprise of the Father thing though...

Obi-Wan manipluated Luke into following him, and the best way to do it was by inspiring him with stories of his father. Luke had no idea what happened to Anakin, so Obi-Wan tells him that Darth Vader murdered him - automatically instilling hatred of the Empire in Luke.
I don't see it as a so-called 'loose end' that Obi-Wan said "You father wanted you to have this." I look at it as Obi-Wan knew that was the best way to get Luke to follow him to Alderaan and restore the Jedi order.
