Pippin:
Remember the  Sphinx's riddle in GoF?

'First think of the person who lives in disguise
Who deals in secrets and tells naught but lies.
Next, tell me what's always the last thing to mend,
The middle of middle and end of the end?
And finally give me the sound often heard
During the search for a hard-to-find word.
Now string them together, and answer me this,
What creature would you be unwilling to kiss?'

The riddle ties together 'spy', 'spider' and 'end'.
