Which is exactly the point isn't it? They know he didn't do it consciously. They know he'd never hurt them on purpose, but they know he'll still grow big and scary nonetheless. How would they deal with that? What challenges will they all face and overcome in order to remain with their friend, when their friend is a bulding-sized, fire-breathing battering ram? I think a situation like that would be the perfect setting for a lesson of true friendship, and that's exactly what this is all about, isn't it?
But all drama aside, this could be fixed easily by Celestia going:
_"Ok Spike, I wanted you to learn to accept yourself as you are, and thanks to your friends, you have. However, I know that now that you're growing up a bit you're finding it harder to keep living with everyone like you've done so far, not being able to enter houses or controlling your strength. So just like you learned to teleport scrolls with you fire, here's a 2nd neat trick for you that will, *for the sake of convenience*, make it easier for you to keep living with us."_
Boom.
Spike learns to transform into a pony with his fire (or has Twilight turn him), because after all we've seen, I'm betting my right foot its fully possible for them to do such a thing. Problem solved. I mean, D&D dragons choose to take human form and live with them all their lives. So why the heck not do this for the poor bastard who really wants to stay with his friends?
