Severus here:

Melody, I think that is just sarcasm, but it is fitting to use while 
talking about Hagrid, because of his afinity for dangerous 
creatures.  Werewolf cubs would be children for most of the month, 
now wouldn't they.  Hagrid does mention most of the creatures he has 
raised through out the books, but he never mentions werewolf cubs.
Just my mental meanderings.
