I remember when   this came up before, after Rowling's statements about the 
foreshadowing. At the time, I didn't comment, but I was rather surprised that 
folks thought that because Lupin responded   to Hermione's call that it could 
mean she becomes a werewolf later. I just thought it meant that he was 
responding to the 'call' that Hermione   made. She was imitating his own kind, hence 
his reaction. It's not like he saw her and then took after her ;-)
Anyway, I just didn't think that werewolves were intuitive enough to be able 
to tell the origin of the sound. Hermione did a pretty good job of imitating 
it. It's sort of like folks who use turkey calls when   they are hunting, lol.

So, I don't think that was the foreshadowing and I don't think Hermione is 
going to be bitten by a werewolf in the upcoming books - but that's just my 
opinion <g>
