And I think that it would make more sense if *infecting* was the 
driving need rather than killing (contrary to what Ministry &al. 
might believe.) After all, breeding overdrives the need of survival 
on many species. Of course, since werewolf manner of breed is biting 
humans instead of or in addition to mating it'd make sense that they 
would try to bite humans... and no doubt many humans would see that 
as intent to kill...

Besides, as Lupin told Molly, the bite didn't fully infect Bill 
because it wasn't Full Moon, and as the *forced* state of Wolf takes 
place at that same time... and it only takes a little time -- I'd 
say it really IS about breeding.

We haven't yet seen a *Female* werewolf, and I do wonder if there is 
one. Also, does Fleur's Veela blood make her immune to werewolves? 
Or, Hagrid's *giant*-half for that matter? And doesn't Flitwick have 
a bit of goblin in his ancestry?

Yes. or that they only have the irresistible need to hunt humans, 
but... sometimes I do wonder wherher Sirius WAS infected that night.
After all, in GoF, Harry meets Sirius only occasionally. In OOP, 
Sirius sometimes concealed himself in a locked room...
