Does this have something to do with the Animagus effect? I thought 
that if you were bitten by a werewolf, you became one. Thoughts?

Well, the thing was that it was dog/wolf headlock, not exactly a 
bite. Sirius didn't *bleed* from that spot. A human bitten *would* be 
bleeding (At least I've never heard of anyone bitten by a dog who did 
not bleed). A nip maybe, "carrying" touch of teeth... but no broken 
skin, no bleeding.

Also, I think Lupin changes periodically, and exactly on *that* phase 
when he himself was bitten.
