Interesting theory! But what would the dragon have to gain by pretending to be Spikes father? I can't imagine what motive he'd have for pretending.

Maybe they were just separated by accident and the trail went cold. (No clues that would lead him in the right direction.)  Something bad might've even happened to his fatehr that would prevent him from finding Spike,  Or maybe the father never knew he had a son in the first place, and the mother died or something before she could tell him.
