Sorry to just toss myself into the conversation here, but this point really intrigues me. Though I totally see where you're coming from, I actually got the feeling that, yeah, they did a few stupid things around her, but at the same time, I think there may be a sense on their end that she's not as big a threat as she makes herself out to be. Yes, the boys are well trained to hunt and fight evil, but Bela isn't evil. She's kind of indifferent. I guess maybe there's a sense that they believe that they are smarter than her, and therefore they're more likely to let their guard down a bit, because they still can't wrap their heads around her. For both Sam and Dean, I think there's a sense that, because she's not downright evil and she is human, there must be some kind of moral side to her that will keep her from doing some of the things she's done. Yeah, it's stupid to keep letting her get away with it, but I think that every time it happens, they believe they're prepared for the next time she comes around, but there's still a piece of them that's being left unguarded, because they don't know how else to fit her into their world...
Did that make any sense? I think I need to stop analyzing for tonight... I'm pretty sure I'm confusing myself...
