I actually always thought the use of the word "familiar" was just incorrect, because Mike's actual description of their relationship is that they are the same, and they used to kill together. Mike seems to have an incorporeal self in the Black Lodge and manifests in human hosts, just like Bob, so I always assumed they were the same sort of entity, not that Bob was actually Mike's familiar in the traditional sense.
