At the time Luke is born Vader probably can sense the great Jedi potential in him. Now I am betting Dooku bites it via Vader with a shocked look on his face when Palpatine lets Vader kill him.This will let Vader know what could happen to him if Palpatine discovers Luke. Luke could and as we see in ROTJ be offered to kill Vader and replace him just as Vader will do to Dooku in EP3. So Vader plays a double game. He lets Obiwan hide Luke for two reasons.1. Even Vader is not so cruel as to kill his own son.2. If he plays his cards right Vader and Luke together can kill Palpatine and replace him as ruler of the Galaxy.In fact part #2 does work perfectly except Luke makes a bad move throwing his saber and just like Anakin does in EP2 is foiled by Dark Lightning he did not know existed. So Vader weighs his options and in the end the part of him that is still good realises he loves his son and saves him at his own sacrifice.</blockquote>
