Well, you certainly ought to know! ;D

Lupin mentions that his fellow Marauders transformed with him once 
they mastered how to become animagi (PoA.18), and because Sirius and 
James were such large animals, they were able to keep Lupin under 
control when he was in werewolf form. Lupin says he was no danger to 
them in animal form, because werewolves are only a threat to humans; 
indeed, we see him actually bite Sirius in dog form, with apparently 
no ill effects (PoA.20). Does the same apply to a metamorphmagus who 
transforms into an animal? If so, I fail to see how Lupin could be a 
danger to Tonks, even when he Changed.

On a subject that comes up in the HPL: How long does Lupin remain a 
werewolf each month? I should think it would only be for, at most, a 
245-hour period, when the moon is actually full. Could it possibly be 
only during the night of the full moon, or even from moonrise to 
moonset/daybreak, whichever comes first?
