A person becomes a werewolf when bitten by werewolf in wolf-form. Once this happens, the person must learn to manage the condition. Potionmaker Damocles Belby (uncle of Marcus Belby) developed a draught called Wolfsbane Potion which controls some of the effects of the condition; by allowing the sufferer to maintain his human mind in wolf form, it prevents him from harming others. Wolfsbane Potion is quite difficult to make, even for fully qualified wizards - Lupin is unable to do so and has to rely on Severus Snape — and is said to have a rather disgusting taste.

Bill Weasley was also bitten by Greyback during the battle at Hogwarts in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Most wizards expect that because Greyback was in human form at the time, Bill will not become a complete werewolf, but may gain wolfish features. One change already observed is that Bill now favours very rare meat. Lavender Brown and some students had been attacked by Greyback, but details are lacking.

In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Tom Riddle claims that, while at school, Rubeus Hagrid used to try to raise werewolf cubs under his bed. He was, however, exaggerating Hagrid's fondness for wild animals: according to Rowling, Riddle's claim was a lie told to slander Hagrid [1].
