Why does Sara wear a W.A.S.P. hat? Maybe she likes the band.....? But then again, why would a little girl be listening to them?.....lol

Maybe because Akamtasu though it would be funny to put "W.A.S.P" on the hat. I doubt it had anything to do with the muscial group. As well, the Japanese like to take English words and put them to different meanings (or something like that).
That and Sarah is from America.

Umm, have you stopped to consider a girl fond of crude Japanese and torturing poor Keitaro wouldn't be so unlikely to take up this W.A.S.P. as listening material, whoever they are. Alternately, he may have wished to subtlely comment that the girl is as pesky as a wasp.

W.A.S.P., when referring to the band, means We Are Sexual Perverts, so......yeah. lol

I wouldn't read too much into it. It's hard to say what the typical Japanese read would infer from the hat. Cloths with English on them are popular in Japan, regardless of what they say.
Akamatsu may like the band, but it is doubtful he'd understand the lyrics. I don't know if that would influence him in either way, though.
WASP may also, as GhostOnTheNet pointed out, may be there as a hint to Sarah's personality and role in the anime.
It could also be a reference to WASP meaning White Anglo-Saxon Protestant - indicating Sarah's American heritage.
All of those, I think are reasonable, but I don’t know which, if any, are true.
