Very interesting. I actually prefer "got" for some reason, even though I'm American. It just sounds better to me.
I've also noticed the lessening of the "American-picking" in the books as the series has gone on. In SS they were "boogers" but we had "bogeys" by the time we got to HBP, and at some point "Mom" stayed "Mum".
