As you posted this question under United States/Washington DC, I assume you are focused on people living in and around Washington DC.
Technically, Washington DC is a "Southern" area being south of the Mason-Dixon line. However, it did not secede from the Union during the Civil War - for obvious reasons. I grew up in Virginia and have always considered myself a Southerner. Most of my friends who were born and raised in DC consider themselves Southern.

I live in Kentucky, so we are kinda one of those in between states. I as well as most native Kentuckians consider ourselves more Southern. I am proud to be a Southerner! Yet I had a great, great uncle who was hung by the South for being a spy. It's kinda funny, both Lincoln and Davis were from Kentucky. So I guess in a way you could say Kentucky can be considered both a Northern and Southern state. =)

Well I live in Arlington VA...so I'm not sure. Virginia was considered a Southerner back then but I don't know now. We don't really have the Southern culture up here near D.C and suburbia.

We recently moved to Northern Virginia (DC Metro) from Michigan and no, I don't consider this area to be in the South. I have however been called a Yankee and people that are from here are still upset over the war of Northern agression.

Neither the people who live in Northern Virginia, nor the people who live in Washington, DC will consider themselves southern. People in these areas would share more of the ideas and values of northerners. Anyone who tells you otherwise, is either not from here or naive.

Yup. I live in Texas and definitely think I was raised in "deep South" culture. Gotta love warm hospitality and sweet tea!
