But then why wait until after he he learned the joys of pony coddling before he revealed who he was? Clearly he doesn't actually care about Spike's happiness, so it looks a lot more like a idea he thought up to stay in the castle.
Note that my main contention is the above rather than other details, simply because I do think its possible he could have inferred Spike was his if my idea is right that Spike is pretty much the only dragon his age right now (dragons are not common, and every other dragon we've seen has been older than Spike).
