there's no direct discussion of angels, every so often God's messengers just show up (and get wrestled with or whatever).

Which is pretty much what happened in the Bible so far (I just finished the first book of Samuel). Angel shows up, is generally Castiel-like and disappears once the humans were taught or not taught their lesson. But since I'm not very far yet, I wasn't sure if the topic comes up in the other 4/5th of it.

(And this is where I was interrupted writing this comment by Jehovas' Witnesses knocking on my door who wanted to convince me that reading the Bible will surely turn me into a devout Christian. Gah!)

But it's also fairly standard to say that angels have to have free will, at least in a general Protestant worldview (and SPN has always struck me as fairly Protestant)

I don't know. Protestants are a pretty diverse bunch. I grew up in a Protestant family and SPN feels far more Catholic to me. Or at least not Lutheran. Maybe just because my family is of the general opinion that hell and everything related doesn't exist. There is only being near God/in heaven and being not near God, in a very abstract, neutral way.
