here's what I think. First celestia took care of spike, and then when twilight was old enough, she got custody of spike. At first their relationship was more formal. But after the events of moving to ponyville, spike and twilight grew closer, with him becoming like a brother to her. Since she and shining armor had drifted apart after she moved, this let spike take armor's place as her brother. Thought spike was seen as a littlt brother though, not big brother. If anything he's her L.B.B.F.F (little brother best friend) and D.A.S.B.F.F (dragon assistant second best friend forever)
