Carodave:
If Draco had been bitten by a werewolf, I think it would be more
evident. At the very least, he would disappear every month, at worst,
he would transform and attack fellow students or staff. I think he
looks pale and sickly due to the pressure of his new job working for
V. It must be incredibly stressful every month he doesn't accomplish
his goal, knowing that is one step closer to destruction (of him, his
family, etc.).
How would Borgin even recognize a werewolf bite? Does a werewolf bite
have distinguishing characteristics that make it different from a dog
bite or another animal's bite? Other than the results of turning the
victim into a werewolf of course.
