Mac now:

I took this to mean that the charm will revert a werewolf to its 
human form, but transiently only - not permanently. It would have 
been a useful charm on that fateful night in PoA when Pettigrew 
escaped, but might not be long-lived/irreversible.

(e.g. Crookshanks who I think JKR has said is NOT an animagus).

Luckdragon again:

Didn't the nurse at St.Mungo's say Lockhart appeared to show signs of regaining his memory. If so the wizard who first performed the homorphus charm may regain his memory as well.

Also according to canon the homorphus charm allowed the village to stop fearing the monthly attack of the werewolf thanks to Lockhart which sounds rather permanent.

Lastly Crookshanks is not animagus, but a kneazle which is part cat, part magical creature. 

Brenda, who doesn't want to see Lupin get his heart ripped out by Peter.
