I just had the strangest thought about Wolf... I think I know the answer and the way I got there is actually interesting. I notice that the beliefs about Wolf being a girl are split soundly into two camps. People who know anime best are insisting that Wolf is a boy because they have seen plenty of his type. The other camp is generally less well experienced with anime and associates his mannerisms with feminity. With that said, here is my answer.
I think it's a colossal bait and switch! Since everyone who knows his type, knows that Wolf has to be a girl, they are going to make Wolf a boy. That would actually be a clever surprise to make Wolf a girl in disguise instead of the pretty boy that everyone expects. They are dropping just a few clues such as Wolf's refusal to strip to the waist to play fair.
