Oooh - there's an interesting thought!

The spider doesn't bite him, it gets him with its pincers 
(grabbers): "Harry had one horrifying glimpse of eight sining black 
eyes, and razor-sharp pincers, before it was upon him.  He was 
lifted into the air in its front legs; struggling madly, he tried to 
kick it; his leg connected with the pincers and next moment he was 
in excruciating pain"...then, for good measure, he gets 
dropped "twelve feet onto his already injured leg".  So I don't 
think there's any implication he's impervious or resistant to 
poisons.
