Spike has got to be the most tragic character in the entire series. We know nothing about the existence of his real parents nor if they are alive. What would be depressing, although not improbable, would be if it turned out that Spike's parents were as evil and greedy as most dragons. Based on the shows logic, he either won't grow for thousands of years which will technically make him a baby for hundreds of years or will never grow unless he practices greed and become a monster once again; and after seeing the chaos he caused, he will never take that route. Whats worse is that if Rarity's feelings for Spike are mutual (again, not improbable but probably won't be fully explored in the series) he could possibly outlive her by thousands of years. Although we don't know their ages or if cross-species relationships are possible, we do know enough about dragons to know that by the time Spike is an adult, almost everyone he knew will be dead (by the way, I refuse to believe Spike is any younger than 13 and if anyone can disprove this, the lowest I'll go is 10). Spike only has two choices: either stay with the ponies and stay young and small for centuries in an environment that may dismiss him as a monster or become a full blown dragon and become disgustingly evil and lose the biggest treasure he had, his loved ones. It's kind of sad actually. He's going to have to stay sarcastic and playful in order to prevent overwhelming depression. Oh yeah, and kisses from Rarity; those help, too.
