I used Lilith's mythology in my last fic - at least the baby-napping/killing part. Lilith has a lot of myths attached to her, depending on which culture you view her from, so I'm curious as to which one the writers will latch onto. I bet it has something to do with the mother-of-demons myth, since she's taking the human form of a child - irony there. That one stuck with me, in part, because of what happened to Sam as a baby. What if YED's encounter with Sam was actually what saved him from Lilith? And, this whole issue of the YED's blood being in Sam hasn't yet been addressed - it's just been buried since AHBL.
In Greek myth, Lilith fell in love with Zeus and had lots of babies. When Hera found out, she murdered all of their offspring and turned Lilith into a hideous creature that is something like a vampire. Lilith reportedly, in ancient Christian myth, is sometimes the mother, or grandmother, of Satan, or Lucifer. In ancient Islamic myth (I think it's Islam) she is a demon who lies with men in the night to beget children - she is the cause of the ages old, "wet dream."
Since Lucifer predates human existence - I'm not sure about the Sam being Lucifer thing. However, with this show, you never know. At any rate, I don't think too much of your speculation is that far off the mark. Lilith could really be the mother of a whole lot of demons, perhaps not all, but certainly a lot - and her offspring will be gunning for Sam with her. Yikes.
Even if Sam saves Dean from Hell - and as crazy as this show can be, there's no way Dean is spending an entire season in Hell - he might come back as a demon, but IN Hell? Nope - logistics would be too hard... even if Sam saves Dean from hell, there's still Lilith to contend with, and that isn't going to be easy. *wibble*
