I always just thought that Obi-Wan was lying to Luke. I'm sure in his mind this explanation sounded a lot better than "Your father was a whiny self absorbed bitch who was easily manipulated by a pasty old man with a fetish for cyborgs."

Lol! But seriously, he did have to tell him something other than "Your father is Darth Vader."
