/worrying about the Jedi taking away his child (I mean, seriously, Lucas, you might as well have found a way to address the whole child-kidnapping thing), etc./
Actually, I think that that could have been another reason for why Anakin felt animosity – if not hatred – towards the Jedi. If the Jedi found out about his marriage to Padme and subsequently expelled him from the Jedi Order, I’d imagine that he’d grow very bitter (“this is a war, look at all I’ve done for them, doesn’t anything that I’ve done count more than the fact that I broke one rule just to marry the woman I love?” etc.). But if the Jedi also found out that Padme was pregnant and suspected that the child would be Force-sensitive and thus in dire need of Jedi training, I’d imagine that Anakin would completely flip out. And again, it would lend a sense of irony for what would happen because Anakin would try to keep the Jedi from taking his child away from him and the child(ren) would be torn away from him regardless and raised to fight against him. But, at the very end, Anakin would be vindicated by his son refusing to kill him (thus refusing to obey his Jedi masters and turning against them, in a way) because of the love he had for his father.
