Now Werewolves.  ie Lupin.  First, regardless of his condition, he is 
a very popular character.  However, I have this question.  I know he 
transforms only once a month and vampires are 24/7.  Lets ask this. 
If he accidently bit someone in his human form, what would happen, 
would that person then have the curse or not?

Hmmmm...as far as I remember, werewolf legend states that a person is 
turned into a werewolf when they are bitten by one during the full 
moon. At all other times, other then a few physical oddities (Hairy 
palms, eyebrows that grow together, feral personality), werewolves 
are pretty much normal human beings, and cannot pass on thier 
condition. The other way legend states that a person can become a 
werewolf is to make a deal with the Devil (or evil spirits, if you 
don't want to link the condition to a specific religious view-point).

Interesting question though...I'll have to go re-read my two werewolf 
books again....*sigh* time to get out the french/latin/whatever 
dictionaries again (The authors left half the passages in thier 
original languages without translating them...^^;).
