Also, is anyone surprised that Starswirl befriended Scorpon? Well, I am. Celestia did state that Starswirl did not understand anything about friendship.

Well, maybe I can try to explain. Perhaps when Starswirl left his spell book which he did not complete, he abandoned it in the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters, perhaps hoping that the princesses would find it and finish the spell off. Then he met Scorpan, it was probably before he died that at the time he came to realise the true meaning of friendship.
