Obi-Wan was never depicted as some senile old man with a foggy memory.

If he could remember that Anakin was already a great pilot when they first met, he'd remember that his master was the one who wanted him to train Anakin. And there's no reason he'd forget about Qui-Gon when he was literally his master for several years.

All of that would be easily solvable if we had some time pass between...

• The death of Qui-Gon
• Obi-wan becoming a full Jedi (he was still a Padawan at that time!)
• Anakin being in the Jedi temple for some time.

Make it clear that it took a few months, not a few days at best, and suddenly we have a much better leg for Yoda being Obi-Wan's Master, as well as Obi-Wan not taking care of Anakin because of some heat of the moment promise.

And after his feat in that absolutly silly spacebattle on Naboo, Anakin could not be ignored anyways.

That's all it would need.
