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! :)

Agreed! That was hilarious...especially when you include the scene before it when Willow matter-of-factly tells Xander that Buffy's going to kill Principal Wood. And then Wood's just quietly listening to music, unaware that Buffy is sneaking up to the window holding this ginormous bazooka, getting ready to shoot him like it's no big deal. LOL!! Xander and Spike's oh so sophisticated plan for getting the jacket from RJ was great too. :D
As for the rest of your post, yeah, I always assumed he was talking about Anya, although you're right that she didn't have any powers for the majority of the time that he knew her. It just seems to me that if he were to refer to Spike, he would have said "vampire." Maybe it's just me, but when I hear "demon," I don't automatically think of vampires, even though they're included in the term. :T Too bad. They were so cute working together. :P
