Yeah, I wondered about that too.  I would have suspected that it was one of
those "inadvertent foreshadowing" moments if I didn't know what happens to
Sirius in OotP.  I've decided that the big gash was caused by the werewolf's
claws, just to resolve the situation in my own mind ;)

I also wondered what would happen if a werewolf were to bite an animal or an
animagus.  I presume that a werewolf biting an animal would have no special
effect, but what about a human in animal form?  An animagus supposedly keeps
his human intellect but has the physical form and limitations of an animal
(which has been discussed to death, so I won't bother).  So if Lupin had bitten
one of the other Marauders during their escapades - and it seems unlikely that
he never bit any of them in all that time - would they have become werewolves
too?  Or would their animal forms have protected them?  Clearly, in the film at
least, injuries sustained while in animal form persist when the person returns
to human form, for both werewolves and animagi.  Any guesses?
