This reminds me of Denis Norden's story about discovering the
perfect glue, and then like an idiot putting in a jar and sealing it,
the implacable glue thus locking its own secret away from
humanity forever. :)

Two more theories I can think of:

1. The Homorphus charm is only temporary, so the town *was*
       "saved", but only for one Synodic lunation.
or:
2. The "werewolf" was actually an animagus who turned into
       wolf and the Homorphus charm only forced him to
       become human again.  (Did Lupin and Sirius use the
       Homorphus charm to expose Wormtail?)
