Hagrid seemed very attatched to our little baby Harry. Is it 
possible that he asked Aragog to have some spiders watching over 
Harry at the Dursley's house, and reporting back to him? Harry 
comments on the spiders in the cupboard with him in the very 
beginings of the first book (PS/SS). Spiders would seem to make 
great spies... small, rather normal to see around.

I don't think so. Aragog is an acrumatula. That a very big spider and even its eggs are as huge as balls. You cannot tame it so it would be too dangerous to send it to the Dursleys to have an eye on Harry (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them).
