Take it a step further and you can spectate your own game -.- ??

For the first case, said opponent would have to have accepted or sent you a friend request already and have automatically-allow-spectating-from-friends turned on or give you permission to spectate them. But remember, in hearthstone it's not possible to friend a player (i.e. see their battle tag #) unless you just played against them or contact them out of game. What are the odds that you had the opportunity to friend your friend's opponent before they played them?
Also, from the videos at Blizzcon, it's clear that if you only spectate one side of the match you cannot see the other player's cards. So for the second case (spectating your own game), you wouldn't be able to see any more than you already can as the original player.
They did also say there will be a way to spectate both sides at once (see both hands, etc), but that will still require you to be on both people's friends list.
