Luke 7:36-38 King James Version (KJV)
36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.
37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

Luke 7:36-38 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

36 One of the P’rushim invited Yeshua to eat with him, and he went into the home of the Parush and took his place at the table. 37 A woman who lived in that town, a sinner, who was aware that he was eating in the home of the Parush, brought an alabaster box of very expensive perfume, 38 stood behind Yeshua at his feet and wept until her tears began to wet his feet. Then she wiped his feet with her own hair, kissed his feet and poured the perfume on them.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

36 This may have meant this Pharisee was a follower of his but hadn’t left his religious group or this could mean that this Pharisee was interested in what Jesus taught and wanted to know more but this was done for good and not a evil invite. We learn this Pharisee could have been named Simon.

37 This woman came being a sinner which meant most likely she was a prostitute but includes to her living by sinful behavior. This ointment may have been the thing of most worth she had, it may have been the only thing she had of value.

38 She both showed a humble repentance and devoted service to Jesus by this act. We need to show the same by how we live for Jesus.

Just to keep people from getting confused, this is not the same as Matt. 26:6–13; Mark 14:3–9; John 12:2–8.

This is a deferent woman.

Not if Simon had been cured by Christ from his leprosy. If this was true then the verses that come to follow, with the parable of the Two Debtors, would make a lot of sense.

pharisee (fărˈĭ-sē)
n.   A member of an ancient Jewish sect that emphasized strict interpretation and observance of the Mosaic law in both its oral and written form.
n.   A hypocritically self-righteous person.

Since "Pharisee" only means that one adhered to the beliefs of that sect, a leper could theoretically be a Pharisee, albeit a permanently unclean one.
