Background Pony #BEE4
Spike: Twilight, hatching and raising are two different things.  
Twilight: Oh right…
Background Pony #0C04
>Gets raised by a responsible filly from day one.  
>This filly adores him and treats him like a son.  
>Tells her when she needs him: “You’re not Mommy”.  
WHAT THE HELL SPIKE?!?!!?
Background Pony #5AA1
When she says he was given to her in an egg, she’s probably referring to the cutie mark chronicles event where she hatched him.

The Mistake
Dumb Rock has the right idea.

The Mistake
A little filly taking care of an dragon? Really?
Or maybe they lived in the school together, Celestia taking care of him until he was mature enough, and then she made him Twilight’s assistant.
Faust implied that Celestia raised Spike, however Word of Faust does get superseded by the show’s canon. In Dragon Quest, Twilight says “you were given to me as an egg.” That implies that Twilight has been caring for Spike since he was born, which runs counter to Faust’s original suggestion that Spike was raised by the princess and then later assigned to Twilight as her assistant.

She’s more of a sister figure to him. If I recall correctly, Lauren Faust suggested that he would have been raised by Princess Celestia.
 
…but, um, I may be mixing fanon with Word Of Faust.
While she didn’t lay the egg, by the logic of “Horton Hatches the Egg”, she is his mom (I’m totally kidding guys)
She isn’t, but she’s practically raised him from his egg, so in a way, is like his mother. Not biologically, but still…though it can be hard to see it when she, and practically everyone else, ignores him.
I actually thought exactly THIS when I saw the episode.

But she really isn’t.
