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! :)

No, he didn't count Spike as his friend, but the best thing in "Him" was the moments when he is starting to tolerating Spike after the end of s6, and in Sleeper he is actuallly worried about him, and he is not mean or angry with him afterwards. He isn't friendly, but he is... understanding.
