It's even simpler than that. He says, "I don't recall ever OWNING a droid." Which is the truth, however misleading. Artoo didn't belong to Obi-Wan. As a Jedi, NOTHING belonged to him except for his clothes and his saber. The novelization of III goes into this quite well, discussing how Anakin gave his one other material posession, Threepio, to Padme as a wedding gift. Artoo belonged to Padme, and was transferred to the House of Organa along with Threepio after her death.
Agreed. And Episode III taught us something we didn't know ... that Anakin did know of his pending fatherhood. Therefore, it is a safe assumption on Obi-Wan's part that had he known about Luke, he would have WANTED him to have it.
-What do you want? Obi-Wan doing backflips when he's like, 80 years old? The Jedi/Sith are aging and less powerful than they were during I-III. No leap of faith there.

-Obi-Wan told Luke that his Father wanted him to have his lightsaber because it was less painful than the truth, and a convenient plot device to get Luke a lightsaber.

Zactly! Makes me really, really hate the stupid backflip that Tyrannus did in III. I wanted so badly to cut that out of my edit, but it wouldn't explain how he got from point A to point B.
