I don't think it means anything except that Dumbledore has an 
eccentric sense of humor, but two other theories have been posted 
previously on this list. One is that those words are the passwords or 
incantations to one or more locked doors or special spells that Harry 
will need in a future episode. 

Another is that "Nitwit, Blubber, Oddment, and Tweak" were the 
nicknames of Dumbledore and his three best friends when they were 
student trouble-makers. Listies have run with that one, speculating 
that the four were Albus, his brother Aberforce, Arabella later Figg, 
and Alastor Moody (Catlady meows: "their clique's name could be The 
Four A's, or Aces") and which nickname was which person.
