I hadn't thought about it, but yeah, Angel is the werewolf vampire. Except, y'know, the wolf is hungry and feral, but it isn't conniving. But Stephen King lumps the Wolfman and Dr. Jeckyl/Mr. Hyde (not a slash pairing I care for, actually B) ) together, as they're variations on the same theme.
And of course, there's gypsies. The werewolf thing starts from a gypsy curse. Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright. But that's not the defining arc of Angel, really. But yeah, ironic. And makes me wish for more Angel/Nina fic.
