Ways to treat werewolf bites?

	Chagrined that I'm only now just noticing this, I ran across the
following while doing my umpteenth read of SS/PS on page 220, chapter 15,
Nicolas Flamel: "The next morning in DADA, while copying down different ways
of treating werewolf bites, Harry and Ron were still discussing what they'd
do with a Sorcerer's Stone if they had one."  Huh?  Later canon makes it
clear that a bite from a werewolf has no cure.  I know Bill's wounds were
healing with visible scars remaining in HBP, but that was from a werewolf
that was not transformed.  The kids had just discovered who Nicolas Flamel
was and at this point in the series (book 1),  the presumption would be that
a werewolf bite from a transformed, in- the- fur werewolf is just another
magical beast injury sustained as a consequence of living in the wizarding
world - easily corrected.  Or is there a difference between "treating" a
werewolf bite and "curing"  it?
