I go by the idea that when the series starts, Sam's just starting his fourth year at Stanford - so he's been there for 3 years, not 2 or 4 - it's a weird compromise between the conflicting information, but it also makes sense academically. Sam WOULD be interviewing for law-schools in the fall of his final year of undergrad.
My take on the "demons can walk through walls" is that it translates to "demons can appear out of thin air when in meat suits" - because you can summon them to a closed room. But also, in Wendigo, Sam and Dean had never encountered a demon before, so to them it was just lore and nothing they had seen.
I'm actually working on a "Knowledge Timeline" that records when Sam and Dean learn things. It's taking me a while to do though, because it's a different sort of format to this one...I'm only half-way through the second season with it. I just work on it when I can, it's not a huge priority.

That's not a bad head-canon for Dean :)
