werewolves vs. animagi

[czeri]

I had a lovely weekend. I spent Saturday with RL friends, we were chatting and watching films; and then I spent Sunday with LJ friends, we were chatting and watching films :-)

Now, one of the films I rewatched this weekend was "Prisoner of Azkaban" and something in it made me wonder - in the scene when werewolf!Remus and dog!Sirius are fighting, they're biting each other. Which I suppose is fair enough, how else can they fight, right? And yet, Sirius didn't get turned into a werewolf (I'm assuming we would have heard about it if he had). Does this mean that a wizard in animagus form is immune to lycanthropy? Because if that were true, Draco so would have turned himself into an animagus (it's Transfiguration, after all, and he's very good at Transfiguration). Also, wouldn't it be cool if his animagus form was actually a white, silver-eyed wolf? He is half Black, so it'd make sense that his animagus form would be canine :ponders:

I'm very sorry but Draco's animagus form would be a ferret. ;)

And that bit from PoA totally bugged me, too. I think it's just an oversight, though, I don't think it implies anything else.

I think we should all go see A Scanner Darkly after having ice cream on Saturday. Or is there another plan already in the works?
