But why would he be attacked?  DE's go after human victims.  In his 
werewolf state, Lupin is no longer human.  His mind and body are that 
of a werewolf.  So why would the DE's go after him?

Remember that the way Sirius was able to escape was that he was a 
dog, and the DE's couldn't sense his human emotions.  And he just 
slipped through the bars.  

Why wouldn't it work that way with Lupin and his werewolf-ing self?

I know that the DE's can be ordered to attack, but is there something 
specific about Lupin as a werewolf that could be identified?  I 
really don't think he needs to worry about it.
