Allegedly, Anakin hadn't a physical father and was conceived by some Force malarky (or so Shmi claims and it's part of what makes the Jedi Council believe he's the Chosen One).
Now, Darth Sidious tells Anakin the story about this Sith Lord who found a way of controlling life itself (can't remember if he says "create") and was later killed by his apprentice. This apprentice was clearly Sidious, especially as he later promises Anakin to make sure Padme doesn't die.
So, could Sidious have had a hand in Anakins's conception by *spit* manipulating midichlorians to impregnate Shmi?
We all know already that Chancellor Palpatine is Darth Sidious but how could such a powerful Force user escape detection from the Jedi, at their very doorstep? Some Dark Side power to mask his connection to the Force (like Obfuscate/Soul Mask)? They did detect Darth Maul in Ep1.
When Sidious fights Mace Windu and uses Force Ligthning, his face melts and his eyes turn yellow/red (just like Anakin's later). He claims in the Senate that the Jedi disfigured him but Mace is only using his lightsabre.
It's quite possible that he had a way of suppressing his powers which meant at the same time his appearance was normal and because the powers were dormant, he couldn't be detected. As soon as he used the lighting, he transforms. We hadn't seen him use Force powers in either Ep1 or 2.
Then again, why aren't Count Dooku's eyes yellow/red who is an overt Dark Side user? Darth Maul's were, too.
Ah well.

I think Tyranus just hadn't fallen completely (he was a Jedi Master before he fell, all that training will count for something), and thus hadn't developed the physical defects yet. When Anakin fell, he fell hard having had everything he held dear stripped from him, including his devotion to the Jedi order (probably why he developed powers o quickly), and thus he developed physical defects.
I think they couldn't sense it was Palpatine for a similar reason that he and Vader couldn't later sense Yoda - the presence of a place strong in the Light/Dark side (the Jedi Temple, and the cave on Dagobah).
