[HPforGrownups] Mom/Mum... Mam?

No: HPFGUIDX 7245

We talked a while back about the origins of the Weasleys, trying to pin down
their accents.  The fact that the kids call Molly 'Mum' tends to knock
certain regional accents out of the picture.  If they were from Liverpool,
for example, they would most likely call her 'Mam' and if they were from the
north of England they might favour 'Mother' or 'Ma'.
