It would be like having a British person try to distinguish between a 
southern Texas accent and someone who comes from Mississippi.  To the 
untrained ear, they probably sound the same, but to someone from the 
South, they would know instantly where that person was from.

Now me:
It is pretty tough to distinguish the accents for American ears. I'm lucky enough to work in an industr where we speak to all different nationalities to the extend that I can distinguish several different accents from the Brit. Isles  or Middle East and I think that's pretty tough. The majority thinks Middle Easterners like Apu from the Simpsons, who's Indian. It's funny what we hear sometimes. Where I'm from there's pretty much no accent (connecticut) unless you live in eastern CT by Rhode Island. 
Anyway to get back on topic...I just pictures the Weasley's having a generic british accent, not that there is such a thing! Just my lack of imagination. lol
