To imply that Vader was pissed and trying to convert Luke to overthrow the Emperor completely negates the throneroom scene in Jedi. If Vader was mad at the Emperor, why the final duel? Why threaten to corrupt his sister? Why not turn around at that point and go, "Really? Not only do you lie to me about my son, but my daughter as well?"

The Emperor isn't all knowing. I don't think the Emperor ever knew of Luke being Anakin's son until the Death Star explosion, and he still didn't know about Leia.

There are some really good points being made. It's a shame I don't think George Lucas thought about it this in depth at all.

He knew about Anakin before the Jedi (the details are there). I'm thinking he knew about Luke as well (post prequel anyway). The implied plan was to wait until they were older to train them so they would be easier to turn.

The info above comes from scripts/original versions of novels.

He definitely knew about him before Empire. And I took his reaction in ROTS to Vader's fury when he told him he killed her as a known lie to intensify his rage. It's not like Vader could call Obi Wan and ask him what happened to the kids.
