I haven't seen the episode, but it seems like, with say, a comparison to Buffy, that the whole "it's a demon, not the body's original possessor" thing isn't exactly ... really respected by the show. I'd say it's more like if a demon in SPN effectively kept their own body - the soul was once human and is now "demonized." But in SPN, the demonized soul is very much in possession of a body that isn't their own. While you can argue that no one really "owned" that body at that point, it still was at one time someone else's, and it's still effectively being used like a ... venue may not be the word I'm looking for, but that's what it is, rather than two people. And SPN itself already has sort of a background with the concept of women's bodies as interchangeable. (I've wondered a few times when watching whether if our heroes were women, we'd always see demons as hot guys.) If I were going to make something of it, it'd be more about that idea of body ownership and possession rather than any sort of necrophilia thing.
