I'm not British (well, by descent but not by birth) but I completely enjoyed and appreciated all the humor in the books.  I think JKR is a very funny lady and must be a gas to talk to. 

I especially liked her understated humor.  My favorite was in PoA when she was describing the tense atmosphere due to an upcoming Quidditch game, which ended in a nasty incident "in which a 7th-year and a 4th-year wound up in the Hospital wing with leeks growing out of their ears."  Completely understated, came out of nowhere and completely hilarious.
