Here is my two sense. In S1, the Alpha had to remain some sort of mystery. That was the whole storyline. Who was this Alpha running around terrorizing Beacon Hills? As for the rest of the shape shifting discussion...I've always felt the Hale family had some kind of regalness about it among the werewolf community. A family where werewolves were born and not turned. And of course, there are discrepancies thoughout. Gerard stated it was rare for one to shapeshift when talking about Talia, but Laura Hale was able to shapeshift as with Peter. Maybe its hereditary and somewhere down the line, we'lll see Derek learn how to shape shift, possibly in order to take on his uncle in 3B.
