My copy of SS which I bought in January 1999 has "Mom"- it's printing 
details are;
 "First American Edition" I think 23rd printing (above "First Am..." 
it says "Printed in the U.S.A.   23"; 

I bought all three of the otheres on the U.S release day and they all 
have "Mum" whenever the word is uttered, whether by a Weasley or in 
the narration.
