I've seen this idea flitting about fandom a time or two.  I don't 
think it's all that believable, myself.  Draco has been scared of 
werewolves since PS/SS (it's what's he's most nervous about stumbling 
across in the Forbidden Forest).  If Draco had been bitten over the 
summer, his illness and observable stress levels wouldn't slowly 
grow.  They'd be at red alert from the very start.

I also don't understand why Borgin would be so terrified of a 
werewolf.  He's a wizard.  He knows when a werewolf is dangerous and 
when it is not.  And I'm betting he's fairly familiar with the WW 
laws when it comes to werewolves.  We've had a few hints that the 
Ministry is actually cracking down on known werewolves so I can't see 
that Draco could use his disease as a threat.  Borgin could simply 
turn him in.

Honestly, I think the assignment to kill Dumbledore explains 
everything the essayist tries to tie to Draco's supposed werewolf-
ism.  And I think it does so more clearly.  The stress would slowly 
build as Draco realized he wasn't a killer and that his family is now 
on the hook.  And of course Draco would move away from his school-boy 
rivalry with Harry as he tried to shoulder a man's burden.
