I think it's very interesting to note that it's the working-class accents are the one played for laughs. I'm not British, and not even a native English speaker, so maybe I'm totally wrong, but I think it'd have been possible to play upper-class accents (like Draco and Justin presumambly would have--I can now totally see Harry and Ron making fun of Draco's "stuck-up" accent) for laughs. Just last week my prof imitated a British upper-class accent and the class was in hysterics.
