I respect your opinion, but I'd like to point out that Eve's time is way before medieval times--in fact, Eve was before angels. Also, in Bobby Singer's Guide to Hunting, Dragons were made almost at the same time as other creatures were being wrought. In fact, Eve herself allowed the creation of the dragon swords because she knew she instilled so much power to the dragons that they could destroy her other children. The dragons were representative of the elite class of monster in Purgatory--perhaps (bar the Leviathan) like the counterpart of angels. Not only were they extremely powerful, they were also responsible of arranging for the arrival of their mother.

On a personal note, I think elemental-based dragons are too much of MMORPG territory.
