This could tie in with how powerless Draco seemed. Snape may not have any good choices sometimes, but he does always choose.
Yes, he even puts it in terms of his not having a choice, having no options. And even Fenrir who claims to embrace his nature, can't really choose who he's going to bite in werewolf form. He just places himself in a place where he's more likely to run into his victim. He's fooling himself into thinking he has more control than he does have, and there's also that effect of its making him look more animal-like when he's not transformed.
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.
I did not know all that! I knew a bit of the mythology but didn't know that bit about his failing to not be a monster. It may wind up having even more resonance when it comes to the DEs and Voldemort.
