I think maybe Castiel has done something to help repress his memory so he can function. That's my theory, anyway. It seems like only flashes are coming through, bits and pieces; he doesn't seem traumatized by it, though - EXCEPT for that moment where he creeped away from fake!Lilith's touch in Yellow Fever. That cringing, slinking reaction to her was very telling. Possibly there is some reason we're unaware of why Dean can sort of remember hell, or pieces of it, but it isn't scaring/freaking him out. And that is an interesting possibility.
