In "Return of the Jedi", Luke asks Leia do you remember your mother?  She
responds that her mother was very beautiful but sad.  He then says that he has
no memory of his mother.  

Going by this dialogue, Padme should have lived for at least 2-3 years after
the birth of the twins and then died.  Newborns cannot possibly understand the
concepts of beauty and sadness.  The twins would have been separated at birth
with Luke going to his uncle Lars with Obiwan in tow for protection.  Leia
would have gone with her mother into hiding for a couple of years, prior to her
death of a broken heart.

That would have made a lot more sense.
