I agree with you that Crowley has his own plan and that Bobby's soul is going to be a bargaining chip. I would not be surprised if Crowley is the big bad next year, though I did originally hope for Zachariah, Crowley is an excellent option. One thing that occurs to me based on your comment of the soul powering the wish is that all souls are given back temporarily to their owners. Originally when you make the deal and seal it with a kiss the Demon borrows the soul and uses it to make the wish come true, after which the Demon returns it to the owner who uses it to trot around the world for 2 days (John) to 10 years the normal run. So that Crowley was telling the truth to Bobby, when he said he would give the soul back but not all the truth, Bobby's soul becomes his to take at any time since no term limit was put on the deal.

In answer to your few issues

On Croatoan we know that it is not a virus like the Swine Flu - instead it seems to have a level of intelligence to it. Sometime it infects immediately but it can lie doggo until it manifest itself later. The lab tech in Croatoan hid her infection until she could get Sam alone for example. The fact that it worked quickly in the test case we saw was more to determine if the method of delivering the virus was effective, there was no need for it to hide its nature in that case. I think of Croatoan as a many organism demonic entity with a hive mind.

Finally the salt line - I never remember seeing a salt line in Bobby's house so this is consistant with the past, instead he littered his house with Devil's traps, that Crowley very cleverly avoided in his initial arrival. Don't remember if he ever walked across the area where they were drawn.
