I know it says in POA that a werewolf is only dangerous to people,
that's why WPP were safe in animal form when they ran around back in
the good old days.

As for why Sirius didn't become a werewolf, first of all, how do you
know he didn't? :P  (don't really believe that, just tossing it up)

Perhaps it's the werewolf's nature to only release whatever substance
it is that turns one into a werewolf into a human. Or animals have a
natural defense against it that an animagus has only in animal form. I
personally thought that Remus had only really broken skin on Sirius
with his claws, not his mouth. Maybe Remus didn't use enough force to
draw blood with his jaw when their jaws were locked together.
