Pippin:
I got the impression nobody knew whether it would be contagious
because werewolves usually have no urge to bite when they're not
transformed. 

A human bite could be dangerous and disfiguring whether the biter is a
 werewolf or not. Human mouths are all full of nasty germs. But Fenrir
is unusual in *wanting* to bite people when he's not transformed. No clue
whether this is a psychological quirk or the result of some kind of 
reverse wolfsbane potion.
