I have a theory. The reason Spike can grow large in mere seconds during Secret to My Excess is a side effect from being hatched by magic. Think about it. If all dragons can reach adulthood that fast, why bother being teenagers? Also, I think the reason Spike didn't get his wings when he was big is because wings are something that must come naturally during puberty. If the growing of a dragon is enhanced by magic before they have their wings, then they won't ever get their wings. Basically, Spike will proceed to age like a normal dragon and in time he'll get his wings.

Or we can all just agree that the animates were too lazy to give him wings in that episode.
