Funny, I don't quite see Darth Vader dropping by to Tatooine in his advanced hyperspace-capable TIE fighter to chat up Uncle Owen and see how the little snot Luke is faring.
And the whole "I'm a Jedi knight" 'thang certainly kept Anakin off the rock for as long as the time between Eps 1 and 2. And thanks to what we've seen in those prequel episodes, I don't see how much can possibly change in the interim to Episode 3 that will make Anakin hang around a world he associates with his own version of suffering and death for any longer than business demands of him.
In fact, it makes some sense to hide Luke out on Tatooine, if that's the one last place that Darth Vader would ever desire to set foot upon again. That's the sort of character aspect you'd associate with a man dead-set determined never to have any business, with anyone, on that world ever again.

Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
