This one still bugs me.  I know that there was a good
deal of discussion that the "distinguishing features"
of a werewolf that Snape told them to learn refered to
the characteristics of the _human_ form of the
werewolf, but I don't buy that, based on book-canon. 
In OOTP, in Snape's memory in the pensieve, Wormtail
is fretting about the distinguishing characteristics
of the werewolf
P. 643 (American hard-cound edition) "I got the snout
shape, the pupils of the eyes, and the tufted
tail,"... One might argue that the human phase would
have a change to the pupils (though that would make
detecting them incredibly easy), but somehow, I don't
see either snout or tail as something the
non-transformed werewolf would have, and if I saw
something that looked like the creature in the movie,
I would not be worrying about needing to see the
pupils of its eyes to know that it wasn't a normal
wolf!

I just loved Lupin's answer to Sirius, BTW -
paraphrasing: He's sitting in my chair, he's wearing
my clothes, his name is Remus Lupin ...
