"In Britain, a Birmingham [Brum] accent is regarded as being one of
the least attractive and I'd wager it's impossible to sound posh if
you're from that area of the country. If the Dursleys were blessed with
Birmingham accents, that would work very well against their pomposity,
IMHO."

The Dursleys come over as if they have recently come into some money. I
get the impression that they live in the south east of the UK.

Birmingham accents - it is just about possible to sound posh with one
of these but it usually comes out only as a joke.
