from Northern England, or is he an American who's lived in Britain

Which accent?

IRL (e.g. in interviews) he has a Scottish accent, as he is Scottish.

In the Harry Potter movies, he has a West Country (i.e. 
Wiltshire/Dorset/Somerset) accent.  AFAIK, this is with JKR's 
agreement.

BTW, his name is Robbie Coltrane.
