I've been wondering about something. If Celestia was supposedly the one to raise spike, how come they've never interacted, or hinted at it once? I mean, in "The Best Night Ever" episode twilight's the one to mention that she wants to see the princess. Why wouldn't it be spike to say that, if she's his mom and hasn't seen her in a while? Also, in the "Secret of my Excess" spike mentions that only twilight gave him a gift for his brithday. Why didn't Celestia, his own mother, give him a present? And don't say because she knew about greed growth, because then she would've warned twilight about it. And also in Dragon Quest, spike mentions that the mane 6 are his pony family, but doesn't mention that Celestia was also a part of that family. And for that matter, he just refers to her as just "Princess Celestia" never once as mom.

Have the writers changed spike's backstory to Twilight helping Celestia raise spike, which is why in the Dragon Quest episode there's a picture of filly twi with spike, showing that they must've kept in touch (for that matter, there's no pictures of spike with Celestia), or are they changing the whole backstory all together to something else?
