Wotcher is London slang for hello. (Note Tonks always uses it as a
greeting). I think its more a reflection on her background (she has
obviously grown up in London) rather than a clue to future plot
developments. I'm not sure how common its usage is today (I'm
Australian) but "wotcher my little cock sparrow" is something my
grandfather used to say.
