So i would take it that applied to squibs as well. They would not become wizards though, I don't think??? Don't quote me on that last bit.

As the resident werewolf expert (lol) - I have read that bit that Nichole's talking about and interpreted it to mean that Muggles typically don't survive werewolf attacks because of two reasons: they don't have the ability to fight werewolves off mid-attack the way witches and wizards do, so their attacks are typically more gruesome; and they don't get fancy magical medical attention, so they die more often. So I would think with a squib it would depend on the circumstances - was someone with a wand nearby enough to save them from being killed in the initial attack? Did they get to a healer fast enough? If so they probably could become a werewolf, if not they're dead.

But this is spitballing based off of one throwaway comment from JKR, who is notoriously bad at having consistent canon anyway, so I'm happy to be overruled by staff on this one :)
