Re: some Mancunian-isms and Tartt-ism, is "me" regularly subbed for "my" as a standard ("I feel like I've lost me wings, Roy" &etc) or is this more of a fluid thing where they're both more or less used interchangeably with no set patterns?

It's definitely common in Manchester, but it is arguably a northern English thing to do. It is also quite common to use me instead of my in Liverpool too for example.

It is quite fluid, and used interchangably with my. I'd say that the more "common/working class" a person is, the more likely they are to use it. For example, both me and Jamie grew up on council estates which are for lower income families and we speak quite similarly. I don't speak formally unless I'm at work or dealing with people from an area that won't understand me otherwise.

The more middle to upper class you go, you'll notice people drop as much of their regional dialect as they can to appear more formal and classy so they wouldn't use me instead of my.

Finally making it real and watching videos on Youtube where they show examples of the Mancunian accent, in order to understand how Snape used to speak . Hilarious, in a positive way!

My own accent is basically a mess composed of all sorts regional accents mixed with RP English (Received Pronounciation), since I'm not British🙃. I recognize some ways of pronounciation which I do use subconsciously, and yet it would be somewhat hard to understand the slang if I was there....Poor little Severus must have had a hard time during his first years trying to adapt his elocution to the "proper" way of speaking. I guess McGonnagall was one of the few to understand him, given her own Scottish brogue 😉

Here is a quite enjoyable video for you to watch if you like to:
