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.

I have the same edition,. except i bought it in oct of 98 when it came out 
or rather my dad did.  Hagrid says Mum and but the weasley's dont, and i 
know it is an american edition bc it says so and is SS not PS
"But it's that sad- knew your mum and dad...."

ANd yes, i checked carefull and it is ALWAYS mom in the other books.  I 
think that what happened, is that dif editors were checking dif chapters as 
publishers i suppose are pron to do, and one git decided mum couldnt be 
right(prop some fresh out of college never left his room bc of video games 
idiot) and did Mom. But who knows, bc i doubt that Mom was on purpose or 
they woulda had everyone say Mom....
