I don't see things the same way. You don't seem to like Dean too much. I think Dean can handle independent/strong Sam, but not secretive Sam. Trust and family are synonymous to Dean. We know Dean was willing to do anything to give Sam all the advantages.
We certainly had at least 2 seasons of Sam going on and on about his demon blood and what that made him -- so I'm giving Dean some latitude over his depression about his time in Hell. I think you should to. This went against every view he had of himself. Dean doesn't think much of himself, but being a person who tries to save lives is at his core. Hell showed him that's not necessarily true. We know, rationally, Hell will change everyone and you can't judge yourself by that, but Dean no longer knows who he is. How can he view himself as a good person, when he "enjoyed" torturing people? He doesn't know who he is anymore.
I think the big fear is not Sam going evil, it's Sam thinking he's more powerful than everyone else. Sam is a proud person - and Pride can corrupt. I think the more he uses his power, the more he feels "superior" to Dean and others. He's the only one who can save humanity. I think this is the dark slope he's heading.
Hey, he's always been told he was smarter and better than everyone. Dean's used that phrase on him since the beginning. In Asylum he states that Dean is weak. This has nothing to do with Lilith. I think this is a hidden belief. He loves Dean, but .. Dean was Daddy's good little soldier who couldn't think for himself. Sam, meanwhile was able to get his scholarship, on his own, and leave the family. He's a driven man. We know he will do whatever it takes - if he believes in the cause strong enough.
First the cause was getting a "Normal" life, then it was to avenge Jess' murder. Now it's destroying Lilith. So he is going at it with all barrel's blazing. But the kicker this time, is his power (and whatever the other secret is). How can you stay "humble" and "normal" when you have a power no one else has. You can destroy evil!! Not even the angels can do what Sam can! Powerful stuff. godlike stuff???
I think this power has started to rip away the human(ness) that is Sam. I think this will encompass more than just going after Lilith. So what, he's going to stop using his power and revert back to "just Sam" after he destroys her??? Don't think so, not unless he realizes what this power is doing to him.
So it's not demonSam, but IcansavehumanitySam we need to worry about.
