Peter also said Paige should have survived the bite...I got the feeling that dying from the bite isn't all that common. I would actually put the odds even higher...maybe 95% chance of survival...just my opinion. Would love to find out what the reason is that the bite doesn't always take.

If Lydia was a banshee before Peter bit her then maybe other supernaturals can't be turned...but we don't know that yet either...it's possible that the bite is what made her a banshee in the first place. But the question then becomes what was different about her that caused the bite to make her a banshee. And still that doesn't answer the question as to why the bite would kill a human rather than turn them.

I guess the most obvious answer would be it's something genetic but I know Jeff doesn't like to go there so there's got to be another reason. Just thinking out loud.
