I actually kinda like the line. They were basically best friends and father and son at the same time. After that relationship came to a horrific end, all Obi had left was the pain and confusion of being betrayed by a prophecy.

They didn't act like father and son, which was part of the problem. They were more like brothers when Anakin probably needed a father figure like Qui-Gon.

Yeah, Anakin was constantly bitching about obi. Definitly more of a sibling relationship.
