palpatine did say everything that anakin wanted to hear. the degree of manipulation by the emperor was so great that you would think ani is closer to him than obi-wan. the chancellor acted as counsel for ani. he was comforting. he re-assured ani and made him feel better about himself. he made it seem that ani was being held back by every other jedi. he is the one but they did nor grant him the rank of master. i'd go f*cking crazy too.
obi and ani fought side by side during the clone wars. they depended on each other. that's what made them closer. i wouldn't want somebody "protecting" me if i didn't trust them completely. they fight well together. and obi has great respect for ani. but it's his job to be an assh*le to him. he has to teach ani, and sometimes ani just needed to learn the hard way. you can tell obi also looked up to ani the way he talks about him when he's not around. he praises him, his skills.
i say obi-wan...
