Spiders 'flee' before them, apparently. So, you know, if you see a column of spiders in crocodile formation heading for your front door, its time to get in a plumber...
Yes, the whole 'lets go visit some giant spiders in the forest, and incidentally find out about Myrtle' plotline seems unnecessarily complicated to me - maybe Aragog will come to Hagrid's aid in The Last Battle for Hogwarts, or something. Or, you know, the spiders will help out Harry directly, because they know he got rid of the Basilisk for them.
So it looks like Harry is gradually amassing a potential army of scary/ Dark /alternative Creatures, almost by accident, as he goes along - werewolves, giant spiders, ghosts? , centaurs, Thestrals, House Elves and even Grawp the baby Giant are all emerging as potential allies against Voldemort. And I imagine Luna will be able to dig up a few more weird creatures later on from the Quibbler Files, too. Interesting.
