Melodies we hum subconsciously are always ones we have heard recently, generally not lullabies or nursery rhymes for adults. However, I detected a thickness to her humming and a change in her breathing that suggested tears, therefore a lullaby to bring her grief. Likely the death of a child, possibly what pushed her over the edge and it might explain why Harry was positioned in a facsimile of an infant.

[He pushes up to his feet quickly and very nearly falls right back over again, swaying violently. Lack of food, a head wound, and the loss of circulation to his feet all contribute to that. He forces himself to keep moving, though, there's no time to wait around.]
