Funny, my BF just mentioned those words to me because I was talking 
too much about Harry Potter. As for showing up later in the series, 
most spells seems to have some kind of Latin look to them, so I 
don't think they'll be a spell, especially since DD just happened to 
call them out during a feast, where he hadn't yet personally 
acknowledged Harry. 

I've never seen any discussion on these words; you may have just 
created a monster that will get its very own acronym! <vbg>

IMO, I think it was just a way of showing the eccentric side of DD. 
Up to this point in the series, we've only seen him placing Harry at 
the Dursley's doorstep, and things were a bit series there, even 
with the earmuffs and lemon drops comments. Besides, even when he 
mentions the earmuffs and lemon drops, it's still sort of in 
context. Those four words are just completely random, so you have to 
wonder if he is, in fact, a bit mad.

-Acire, who affectionatly calls her Beta fish "He-Who-Has-No-Name" 
because she forgot to name him and just got lazy. No one gets it, 
either.
