A small random observation.

Just watched the very end of 'Potential' (Xander's speech to Dawn) and noticed something that never really registered before:

XANDER: "Seven years, Dawn. Working with the slayer. Seeing my friends get more and more powerful. A witch. A demon. Hell, I could fit Oz in my shaving kit, but come a full moon, he had a wolfy mojo not to be messed with. Powerful. All of them. And I'm the guy who fixes the windows."

Did Xander just include Spike on a list of his friends? I can't think who else would fit the 'demon' description. It just made me happy! :)

ETA: Well since everyone seems to have answered the same way, I'm just going to answer everyone at the same time (I know, lazy!).

The reason I thought about Spike was that Xander used the words 'demon' and 'powerful'. Anya was a demon of course, but in the time she knew Xander she was only Anyanka for a short while (post-Hells Bells - Selfless) and when she was human, she never had any powers (except a great knowledge of demons). It just struck me as odd that he'd describe her as someone 'getting more and more powerful'.

And I wish there had been more Xander/Spike bonding in s7 as well. I liked when they worked together in 'Him' although the funniest scene by far was Buffy with the bazooka! :)

Um, what they all said. Sadly, I'm pretty sure he's talking about Anya. I can't imagine Xander ever calling Spike a friend.
