Leah: In 'The Elder Wand', Harry sees 'a grey blur' race across the  
Hall to 'sink its teeth into one of the fallen'.  Hermione 
shrieks, "No" and blasts Fenrir Greyback from 'the feebly stirring 
body of Lavender Brown'.  Greyback is then knocked out by Trelawney. 
We later hear that Greyback is dispatched by Ron and Neville but no 
more (I think) of Lavender. 

I read from this that Greyback was not responsible for Lavender's 
injury, since he has to cross the Hall to get to her, but that he is 
looking for a tasty snack.  It's not clear whether he manages to 
bite into Lavender before Hermione comes to the rescue, but I think 
the implication is that she is saved.  She is certainly not eaten, 
and I would say she has not been infected with werewolfism.  Whether 
she lives we do not know.

So, I can understand why the orginal questioner was speculating 
given the information we  have in this chapter, but agree there is 
not much to discuss here as the information is so limited.  It is a 
little cameo of the battle.
