After last season, I'm pretty sure Bobby has the Winchester Immunity - that is, he can die, but it's unlikely to be permanent unless it's the series finale. (Cas as well).
I mean, they had the PERFECT chance ever to kill him way back in season 4, when Sam took off. (I'm glad they didn't, and not just because I like Bobby. It's just that... well, it would have taken some seriously strong focus to deal with that in season 5, and "focused" is not a word I could use to characterize the season.)
And then they could have killed him in 5x01, but against all odds he survived.
And then they healed him, and I thought he had a good chance of being a goner- you know, tying up loose ends, that sort of thing.
But no! He got brought back to life.
That pretty much settles it for me. We may see a lot more Bobby death from now on, but I don't expect it to stick.
(Hee! I just realized! This means bobby can join the "that time I died" club, along with Dean, Sam, Castiel, Harry, Daniel Jackson, Mulder, so on and so forth. I swear, I'm gonna write that, some day).
Speaking of the "that time I died" club, over on TWoP they're talking about Mitch Pileggi coming back for a few episodes, though I'm not sure where that came from (it's in the spec w/o spoilers thread). Which would be awesome! That makes me really excited!
(What if due to the turmoil, people from both Heaven and Hell are wandering back to earth? That could be a very cool storyline!)
