I'm curious as to the dangers of a wobbling wheel.

The things that stick out to me are:

The wobbling wheel throwing the car out of alignment

and

The premature wearing of bushings/other suspension components, wherever that wheel is mounted.

Which brings me to my next question, if a directional tire was put on backwards, would it cause a wheel to produce a wobbling sound?

Wobbling wheel can cause your suspension to wear faster, as well as your tires.

Tire shouldn't make a wobbling sounds.
Have you checked that the rim is mounted properly?
