The emperor never drove it out of him fully. Once he joined palpatine, Anakin thought there was no turning back. From then on he was evil until luke saved him

I wonder how much the emperor cared. My impression is that any emotion that would cause Darth to exercise his power more would be ok with Sid, as long as it never quite got to Darth feeling really "good' all the time. I think that even if there was a little bit of good there, a Sith isn't going to really care, because emotion and deception and even turning on each other had been the way of the Sith. Kinda like being in a prison gang.
I don't think Sid was ever controlling Darth's mind, I think Darth actually thought he was doing the galaxya favour, Sid's manipulated him enough into thinking that the Jedi were actually evil and doing everything for their own personal gain.
Anakin wanted to take control of the galaxy to make his own version of peace. The only way to do that (in his mind), was through Sidious and destroying the power-hungry/seeking Jedi.
If he did not have good inside of him he would not have been redeamed. Luke simply uncovered the good in Vader.
