 * First, it's important to point out the connection with the Seraphim and the fallen angels. Knowing that most of the demons has six appendage (usually wings), and being related or derived from the 6 rebellious kin, it's easy guess from where mothy took inspiration for his creatures.
 * I wouldn't consider this a trivia because is just speculation, but the behavior and nature of the Demon of Sin seems to be more similar to the Djinn (particularly the Ifrits), than the typical depiction of demons in the Christianity.

Now about the Demon of Gluttony, it's important to point out that it's wings are both a the reference to the Lord of Flies, and the connection to the corpses and Death theme that surrounds that sin in the series. I agree on the first point as a potential connection. It merits a trivia. I'm not sure if we have enough info on these demons to give "Demons/Demons of Sin" their own articles, but each demon having these six wings might be worth adding mention.

Six is also associated as a Satanic and (to a lesser extent) demonic number so that might be worth including mention of as well.

I am not so sure about the Djinn thing since demons are so widely applicable to pretty much anything that as long as it's a malicious force and called a "demon", it typically fits imo.

And I agree on the Demon of Gluttony in relation to it being portrayed with fly-esque wings in illustrations. It sounds like an intentional decision on the artist's end of things, at least.
