Yoda gave a clue in Empire Strikes Back when he said, "There is another." | Yoda could've been talking about C-3PO, if we think about parenthood in the sense of "creating" something. But I doubt it.
Plus they were really pushing Han/Leia in Empire. I mean, Leia kisses Luke...as revenge!
That said, it's easy for me. I knew they were brother and sister before I ever saw Star Wars because I was born when Jedi came out and God only knows where I learned they were brother and sister. Despite that, it still wasn't as obvious as "Palpatine is Sidious!"
Re: L/L fanfics, I think this is a case where Star Wars upped the ante for edginess in ships. The original trilogy didn't have any real slash potential, though Robot Chicken has done a pretty good Han/Boba Fett sketch. (Basically Boba Fett makes out with Frozen!Han.) Instead, it had a canon ship that turned out to be brother and sister. These days, as slash is becoming more accepted, incest is the genre to flame. (I'm normally open-minded, and unlike slash, the whole concept of incest strikes me as icky.) But that's all for fanfic writers to decide on.
