Werewolves are just more coflicted because they do retain more of their humanity. Also werewolves have no control over who they attack whereas vampires make a decision. This could tie in with how powerless Draco seemed. Snape may not have any good choices sometimes, but he does always choose.
On a tangent, the Fenrir in the myth was taken back to Asgard by Odin who hoped to raise him as a warrior. He was brought up as a person but attempts to instill any values in him failed as he grew to be a vicious monster who had to be chained. Despite being a somewhat overobvious pun the name Fenrir does suit the werewolf since he may not have chosen to be bitten, but he chose to be a monster. You probably knew all that, but I thought it was interesting.
